Add quinoa and water to a pot. Bring to a boil, cover, reduce to a simmer, and cook on low heat for 15 minutes, stirring occasionally. Remove from heat and let sit, covered for 5 more minutes. Once done fluff with a fork. Transfer to a plate and set aside.
Step: 2
While the quinoa is cooking, take a bowl and mix together the ingredients for the sauce: lemon, maple syrup, low-sodium soy sauce or coconut aminos, and unsalted almond butter. Set aside for later.
