Bring 2/3 cup water and quinoa to a boil in a saucepan. Reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer until quinoa is tender and water has been absorbed, 15 to 20 minutes.
Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat, saute kale and garlic in the hot oil until kale is wilted, about 5 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.
Stir quinoa into kale mixture and add sesame oil, cook until flavors blend, about 5 more minutes. Add 1 tablespoon water to mixture to keep from sticking.
