FAQ
How many servings does this beet quinoa noodle bowl make?
The recipe makes 2 servings.
Are quinoa noodles gluten-free?
Quinoa is naturally gluten-free, but check the package label for certification and possible cross-contamination.
How do I cook the quinoa noodles?
Cook them according to the package instructions until al dente, then drain and rinse with cold water.
Can I use regular pickled beets instead of fermented pickled beets?
Yes. Regular pickled beets work well, although they may have a different flavour and will not provide the same fermentation characteristics.
Do fermented pickled beets contain beneficial microbes?
They may contain live microorganisms depending on how they were prepared, pasteurised and stored. Check the product information and keep them refrigerated as directed.
Can I prepare this bowl ahead of time?
Yes. Store it covered in the refrigerator and use it within a suitable timeframe for the ingredients, preferably within 1–2 days for best texture.
What herbs work well in this recipe?
Fresh parsley, dill, coriander or mint all pair well with the beets and lemon.
Can I adjust the dressing?
Yes. Adjust the lemon juice, olive oil, salt and pepper to taste, keeping in mind that the beets may already be seasoned.
