  7. Add the garlic and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute.
  8. Add the mushrooms and continue to cook, stirring, until the mushrooms are tender, about 5 minutes.
  9. Add the snow peas, 1/4 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper.
  10. Cook, stirring, until bright green but still crisp-tender, about 3 minutes.
  11. Remove from the heat.
  12. Combine the cooked quinoa, mushroom mixture, soy sauce, scallions and remaining 2 teaspoons sesame oil in a medium bowl.
  13. Toss gently to combine.
  14. Season with additional salt and pepper.
