Quinoa and Vegetables Teriyaki

Last night I made this quinoa dish which I got the idea from here. I cooked the whole contents of a frozen bag of asparagus and edamame but only used about half of each.

Ingredients:
1 cup red quinoa cooked to package directions.
1 package pre sliced shitake mushrooms
1/2 bag frozen asparagus
1/2 bag frozen edamame beans
1/4 cup teriyaki sauce
1 tbsp sesame oil
1 tbsp olive oil
salt, pepper, cilantro to taste

Directions:
Cook the quinoa according to the instructions on the package. When it is simmering, heat the olive oil over medium heat and then sautee the mushrooms a few minutes until soft and turning brown. Then add about 2 tablespoons of teriyaki sauce and cook until that has been absorbed. Add the sesame oil and remove from the heat. Cook the frozen vegetables in the microwave and add them to the mushroom mixture. When the quinoa has absorbed all the water in the pan, stir in the veggie mixture. Add the rest of the teriyaki sauce, salt, pepper and cilantro and serve warm.
