Heat a shallow fry pan with 1 cm of oil and fry till browned on one side , Flip. They will only take a couple of minutes each side. Do not cook too long. They will continue to cook while you make the vegetables.
Heat another medium fry pan over high heat. Add the oil and onion and toss for 1 minute then add the garlic and ginger. Sauté till fragrant then add the stock, tomato sauce, sugar, sweet soy, and a little salt. Stir well and when it starts to steam and come to the boil add the grated carrot and the snow peas and toss till warm and the peas are only just wilting. Take off the heat and serve. Add some chopped coriander.
Serve with rice or just by itself.

Notes

1 cup of raw quinoa weights 180 gm
1 cup of quinoa once cooked makes 2 and 3/4 cups of cooked quinoa. This recipe calls for 2 cups of cooked quinoa. That means 1 cup of raw.
