Steps
Cook the Quinoa: In a small pot, rinse 1 cup of quinoa under cold water. Add it to 2 cups (475ml) of water and bring to a boil. Reduce to a simmer, cover, and cook for 15 minutes or until water is absorbed. Let it cool slightly.
Steam the Sweet Potato: Peel and chop the sweet potato into small cubes. Steam the cubes for 10-12 minutes until tender and easily mashable.
Prepare the Veggies: While the quinoa and sweet potato are cooking, dice the cucumber and avocado into small, bite-sized pieces.
Assemble the Poke Bowl: In a small bowl, combine the cooked quinoa, diced cucumber, diced avocado, and steamed sweet potato cubes.
Add Olive Oil: Drizzle 1 tablespoon of olive oil over the mixture and gently stir to combine, ensuring the ingredients are coated.
