                                          • Rinse quinoa in a fine mesh strainer until water runs clear, not cloudy.
                                          • Combine quinoa and water in a large, covered stock pot.
                                          • Bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low. Simmer uncovered for 10–15 minutes until water is completely absorbed. Note: When done, quinoa will be soft and a white ring will pop out of the kernel. The white ring will appear only when it is fully cooked. Fluff.
                                          • Critical Control Point: Heat to 140 °F for at least 15 seconds.
                                          • Pour 3 qt (about 3 lb 14 oz) quinoa into a steam table pan (12′′ x 20′′ x 2½′′).
                                            For 25 servings, use 1 pan.
                                            For 50 servings, use 2 pans.
                                          • Critical Control Point: Hold for hot service at 140 °F.
                                          • Set aside for step 11.
                                          • In a large stock pot, add oil and crumbled tofu. Heat uncovered over medium heat for 2–3 minutes, stirring occasionally.
                                          • Add garlic, cumin, red pepper flakes, salt, pepper, turmeric, bell peppers, and onions. Heat uncovered over medium heat for 1–2 minutes, stirring constantly.
                                          • Critical Control Point: Heat to 140 °F for at least 15 seconds.
                                          • Pour 3 qt (4 lb 9 oz) vegetable mixture over each pan. Stir well to combine.
                                            For 25 servings, use 1 pan.
                                            For 50 servings, use 2 pans.
                                          • Critical Control Point: Hold for hot service at 140 °F.
                                          • Portion with 6 fl oz spoodle (³⁄4 cup).
