- In a saucepan add quinoa, water (or broth) and garlic. Bring to boil, stir and then reduce heat to low. Cover and cook for about 12 minutes until done.
- While the quinoa cooks, mix together the ginger, tamari, agave nectar, lemon juice and sesame oil.
- Once the quinoa is done, turn off the heat and stir in the tamari mixture. Cover again and let sit for about 5 minutes.
- Stir again and sprinkle with the sesame seeds and green onions. Serve!
