Instructions
- Start with cooking your quinoa, following the instructions on the bag.
- Prep your carrots, broccoli and garlic while the quinoa is cooking. Cut the carrots into thin medallions so that they cook quickly and evenly, about 1 cm each. Next, chop your broccoli into bite size florets. Last, finely chop your garlic.
- When your ingredients are prepped and your quinoa is almost done (5 minutes left), add your olive oil over medium-high heat to a large wok (or pan). Add the carrots first and cook for 2-3 minutes. Then add your broccoli and garlic and cook for another 2-3 minutes.
- Strain your quinoa and add it to the wok along with the red pepper flake, soy sauce, and rice wine vinegar. Sauté everything for another couple of minutes.
- Lastly, add your sesame oil to create that rich, nutty flavor and cook for another minute.
Notes
- Note: green onion and/or basil also go great in this dish!
