Published 1/27/2017 • Updated 3/19/2024 These Kung Pao Quinoa Bowls are kind of like a buddha bowl with grains and veggies but with a Kung Pao twist. They’re super easy to make and are the perfect healthy dinner, all wrapped up in one delicious bowl. And these bowls are super customizable to your liking. You can add whatever type of grains, veggies, and toppings you like to make them truly your own.
What is in these Kung Pan Quinoa Bowls?
We love using quinoa for this grain bowl as it’s packed with fiber and has a deliciously nutty flavor and fluffy texture. As for the veggies, we sauté green onions, chickpeas, broccolini, and matchstick carrots in our homemade Kung Pao sauce. The sauce is made with sriracha, chili paste, tamari soy sauce or coconut aminos, and honey for the perfect blend of spicy, savory, and sweet. Finally, we top everything off with our Greek goddess dressing and sauce. We used cilantro instead of basil and added a little bit more olive oil to thin it out for the perfect green sauce for this bowl. You could also use store-bought Greek goddess dressing if you like.

Store Kung Pao Quinoa Bowls in an airtight container or meal prep containers in the fridge for up to 5 days. If you add protein, the bowls will keep for 3-4 days.
