Stir-Fry Quinoa

 

I took some inspiration from Emily’s Healthy Un-Fried Rice to put this dish together.

The Players

1 medium onion, diced

2 cups sliced carrots

1 cup edamame

1 cup peas

1 cup quinoa, rinsed

1 1/2 cup water

1 tablespoon oil (I used olive this time)

3 tablespoons soy sauce

3 eggs (we like egg … feel free to use less)

The Fun

1. In a small to mid-sized pan, heat water to boil. Add quinoa. Cover and reduce heat to simmer for 15 minutes. Once done, remove from heat and allow to sit for 5 minutes before fluffing with a fork.
2. Whisk together olive oil and soy sauce.
3. While quinoa is cooking, saute onion, garlic, and carrots in a wok or pan of choice for 7-10 minutes before adding edamame and peas.
4. Add cooked quinoa and fry for five minutes.
5. Add sauce and continue to mix thoroughly.
6. Push quinoa mixture to the size and scramble the eggs in the middle.
7. Mix together and serve.
