This pad Thai quinoa bowl recipe uses quinoa, which is gluten free, high in protein and fiber, and has a nice nutty flavor. But you can always substitute rice or noodles. Remove the chicken, add extra edamame, and you have a great vegetarian meal. You can also add shrimp if you like. This recipe is seriously good and versatile!
