- 2 cups water
- 2 teaspoons soy sauce
- 2 teaspoons garlic minced
- 1 cup mixed vegetables such as bell peppers, carrots, and cucumber
- 1 egg
- 1 tablespoon neutral cooking oil generic cooking oil
- salt to taste
- black pepper to taste
Instructions
Cook Quinoa
- Add quinoa and water to a pot over medium heat. Cook it uncovered until all of the water has been absorbed.
- Remove the pot from the heat and cover with a lid for 5 minutes to let the quinoa steam. The quinoa will pop and become fluffy.
Cook the Veggies and Egg
- Saute the veggies in a small frying pan until tender. (You can also use raw veggies if you prefer). Add the garlic and saute for 30 seconds to 1 minute. Watch it carefully so it doesn’t burn.
- Push the veggies to one side of the hot pan and add the egg. Scramble the egg until cooked and mix with the veggies. If the mixture seems dry, add a teaspoon of butter or oil.
Make Quinoa Fried Rice
- Add a sprinkle of garlic powder or your seasoning of choice to the quinoa. Fluff with a fork and add the quinoa into the pan with the veggies.
- Add the soy sauce and stir well.
- Season with salt and pepper to taste and pan fry for a few minutes. Serve and enjoy!
