Protein-Packed Spicy Vegan Quinoa with Edamame
I adapted this protein-packed spicy vegan quinoa with edamame recipe from a turkey burger recipe when I went vegan. It is also gluten free if you use gluten-free soy sauce. I use it as a post-workout meal, as it is delicious, satisfying, and relatively high in plant-based protein.
