Keep reading to learn which oil goes best with which Asian Quinoa pack.    1. Coconut Oil An oil renowned for its wonderful nutritional benefits, such as its ability to help you burn fat and improve blood cholesterol levels, Coconut Oil is the perfect addition to anything curry. It adds a depth of flavour, a sort of creaminess to the curry quinoa… a delicious yet still healthy kind of lemak! Add 1 tablespoon of Coconut Oil to your rice cooker, along with the ingredients from the Superlife Co. Curry Quinoa packs. It goes perfectly with both the Spicy Curry Quinoa and the Thai Green Curry Quinoa. Give it a try 😉   Shop our Spicy Curry Quinoa, click here.  Shop our Thai Green Curry Quinoa, click here.   2. Sesame Oil Sesame oil is known to improve hair and skin health due to its high protein content, as well as increase heart health, amongst many other medicinal benefits. It is often used in Asian cuisine, particularly that of Chinese, Japanese and Korean, for salads, stir-fries, marinades, etc. With this in mind, Sesame Oil is thus the perfect addition to our Asian Quinoa packs, specifically our Japanese Quinoa and Mushroom Quinoa. Add 1 tablespoon of Sesame Oil to your rice cooker, along with the ingredients from the Superlife Co. Japanese or Mushroom Quinoa packs. The result is a more home-cooked Quinoa flavour, which many people say tastes like something that their grandmas and moms would cook!   Shop our Mushroom Quinoa, click here.  Shop our Japanese Quinoa, click here.
