Rinse the quinoa thoroughly and add to a saucepan over high heat with 1 ¼ cups of water, crushed garlic and tamari. Bring to a boil, then cover the saucepan and reduce heat to low. Simmer for 14 minutes. Remove from the heat and let it sit for an additional 5 to 10 minutes. Uncover and add the honey, lemon juice and some freshly ground pepper. Add more tamari to taste. Set aside.

To each serving bowl, add a large handful of arugula and top it with a scoop of quinoa and a portion of cooked Just Egg. This should help wilt the arugula slightly. Add a few roasted tomatoes and a quarter of the sliced avocado. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
