Check out the latest recommended times in our Cooking Guidelines.

Before you start

  • Preheat the grill to high (240C)
  • Line a baking tray with silver foil
  • Bring a medium saucepan filled with salted water to a boil
  • Pull out a large frying pan, a sieve, a grater & a medium bowl

Boil & grill

  • Add the quinoa to the saucepan and boil for 13-14 mins, until cooked, then drain and return to the pan
  • Meanwhile, trim the broccoli and cut into thirds. Add to the foil-lined baking tray, drizzle with 2 tsp oil and season with salt and pepper. Grill for 8-9 mins, until golden and softened

Fry the tofu mince

  • Roughly dice the onion. Drain the tofu, pat dry, then coarsely grate
  • Heat the large frying pan with the sesame oil on medium-high heat. Once hot, add the onion and tofu and cook for 7-8 mins, until golden. Season with salt and pepper

Pickle the cucumber

  • Meanwhile, dice the cucumber into 2cm chunks, then add to the medium bowl, along with the rice vinegar. Season with salt and pepper, toss to coat, then set aside
  • Add the teriyaki to the tofu pan. Stir to coat and cook for 1 min, until piping hot, then remove from the heat
