Stages of cooking
-
Bring 2/3 cup water and quinoa to a boil in a saucepan. Reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer until quinoa is tender and water has been absorbed, 15 to 20 minutes.
-
Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Sauté kale and garlic in hot oil until kale is wilted, about 5 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.
-
Stir quinoa into kale mixture and add sesame oil; cook until flavors blend, about 5 more minutes. Add 1 tablespoon water to mixture to prevent sticking.
