Peruvian-style Plant based Quinoa Chaufa with Scrambled Tofu and Vegetables
Chaufa is a traditional Peruvian dish with Chinese and Peruvian flavors. It is traditionally made with rice but in this recipe, we used white quinoa to provide more protein and fiber. It is a delicious dish with and rich and hearty mouthfeel and a spiced earthy aroma. We switched the scrambled eggs to scrambled tofu to make it 100% plant based.

- First cook the quinoa. Rinse quinoa before cooking, in a strainer hold under cold water until water runs clear.
- Combine 1 cup quinoa with 2 cups of water or vegetable broth in a pot. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat, cover with lid and simmer for about 15 minutes.
- In a hot wok or pan, add sesame oil, cook red onion until translucent.
- Add garlic and ginger until aromatic without burning. Then add cumin until aromatic.
- Crumble tofu and add turmeric and Peruvian spicy yellow pepper/Aji Amarillo optional until looks like scrambled eggs, then add the rest of the veggies (red bell peppers and carrots) and the cooked quinoa.
- Add the green onions and coconut aminos. Garnished with cilantro, sesame seeds and lemon juice.
Substitutes:
- if you don’t have white quinoa you can use red, black or tricolor quinoa, white or brown rice.
- if you don’t have the Peruvian spicy yellow pepper or paste, you could add pepper flakes, cayenne or tabasco to add a spicy kick.
- Here we used coconut aminos taste like soy sauce and it is low sodium, if you don’t have it you could use low sodium tamari or low sodium soy sauce.

2024 promises to be a busy year for the NKF Government Relations Team. With Congress still fighting legislative battles that carried over from last year and a Presidential Election looming on the horizon, it will be tough to get much done. That said, we do have some big items on our “to-do” list. Below are the highlights, but knowing how quickly things change in Washington and around the states, don’t be surprised if a few items are added or fall off over the year.
Stage of Change 6: Execute and Measure Your Impact
ÍNDICE
- Educate practice staff on CKD assessment and management.
- Engage practice staff in the refinement and application of the implementation strategy in their own workflows
- Utilize electronic health record and claims data to illustrate CKD care among patients with hypertension and/or diabetes in the care team's patient panel.
- Ensure the care team receives ongoing feedback about the agreed upon CKD interventions/quality metrics.

Engage practice staff in the refinement and application of the implementation strategy in their own workflows
Utilize electronic health record and claims data to illustrate CKD care among patients with hypertension and/or diabetes in the care team's patient panel.
Ensure the care team receives ongoing feedback about the agreed upon CKD interventions/quality metrics.
Stage of Change 5: Develop the Implementation Plan for Your CKD Intervention
ÍNDICE
- Identify evidence-based implementation strategies based on published literature and organizational expertise.
- Ensure care team members executing the CKD intervention helped identify implementation strategies aligned with practice or clinic needs and requirements.
- Consider implementation of an electronic health record-based CKD registry.
- Develop the recommended CKD care plan for your institution.
- Consider developing CKD clinical decision support.
- Review / update diabetes and hypertension order sets to include agreed upon CKD parameters including assessment with the Kidney Profile, medication management, referrals.
- Consider embedding the CKD heat map in EMR tools to facilitate CKD staging/risk stratification.
- Where appropriate create dot phrases to facilitate entry of CKD information.
- Consider use of the Kidney Health Evaluation for Patients with Diabetes MIPS measure.
- Include social determinants of health assessment in the CKD intervention.
- Consider including resources to address identified social determinants of health needs in the intervention tools.
- Within the context of available resources, consider novel community-level approaches for identified needs related to social determinants of health.
- Outline a seamless communication strategy among patient care team members.
- Make CKD patient education a seamless experience.
- Include referral information for local support groups or peer-mentoring programs.
- Utilize multiple channels of outreach to engage patients around CKD awareness and screening.
- Consider creating a primary care tool kit to address the specific care gap(s) targeted.

Stage of Change 3: Building the Business Case to Improve CKD Care
ÍNDICE
Stage of Change 2: Assess the Quality of CKD Care in Your Institution
ÍNDICE
- Evaluate rates of guideline testing—estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) and urine albumin-to-creatinine ratio (uACR)—in at-risk patients.
- Use electronic health record (EHR) laboratory data to identify individuals with evidence of CKD but no CKD ICD-10 diagnosis code in their records.
- Request Kidney Health Evaluation for Patients with Diabetes (KED) HEDIS quality measure data from key local payers.
- Use Hierarchical Condition Categories (HCC) coding to evaluate impact of improved CKD coding in value-based care.
- Utilize Area Deprivation Index and American Community Survey data to map ZIP codes in your community that may be disproportionately impacted by health disparities in rates of CKD, diabetes, and/or hypertension.
