This quinoa energy bowl is the type of lunch I favored to tug collectively again within the days we might work in our studio in San Francisco’s Chinatown. It was one thing I might make usually as a result of it checks all of the packing containers — fascinating, seasonal, filling, and nutritious. The bottom is just mung beans and quinoa topped a number of great things. I would argue, the magic *actually* comes from deeply sautéed and spiced celery. The celery brings an unimaginable quantity of taste and depth to the remainder of the dish, and welcomes all types of different toppings – roasted cherry tomatoes, salted dill yogurt, fast pickled pink onions, chopped olives.
