**Vegan Quinoa And Teriyaki Tempeh Handroll**
**Ingredients:**
– 1 cup quinoa
– 1 ½ cups water
– 1 block of tempeh, sliced into thin strips
– ¼ cup soy sauce
– 2 tbsp maple syrup
– 1 clove garlic, minced
– 1 tsp grated ginger
– 3 nori sheets
– 1 cucumber, julienned
– 1 carrot, julienned
– 1 avocado, thinly sliced
– Sesame seeds for garnish
– Soy sauce or tamari, for dipping
**Instructions:**
1. Rinse the quinoa thoroughly under cold water. In a saucepan, combine the rinsed quinoa and water. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for about 15 minutes or until the water is absorbed and the quinoa is fluffy. Remove from heat and let it sit for 5 minutes. Fluff with a fork and set aside.
2. In a small bowl, mix together soy sauce, maple syrup, garlic, and ginger. Add the tempeh slices to the bowl, ensuring that each piece is coated with the marinade. Let it sit for at least 15 minutes to marinate.
3. Heat a skillet over medium heat. Add the marinated tempeh slices and cook for about 2-3 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and caramelized. Remove from heat and set aside.
4. Place a nori sheet on a clean surface. Spread a layer of quinoa over the bottom two-thirds of the nori sheet, leaving a small border at the bottom.
5. Arrange a few strips of tempeh, cucumber, carrot, and avocado over the quinoa.
6. Starting from the bottom, tightly roll the nori sheet, tucking in the fillings as you go. Wet the edge of the nori sheet with a little water to seal the handroll.
7. Using a sharp knife, slice the roll into bite-sized pieces. Repeat with the remaining nori sheets and fillings.
8. Arrange the handroll pieces on a platter, sprinkle with sesame seeds, and serve with soy sauce or tamari for dipping.
