Quinoa Fried Rice Recipe

Step 1

Add quinoa and water to a pot over medium heat. Cook it uncovered until all of the water has been absorbed.

Step 2

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.

Step 3

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.

Step 4

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.

Step 5

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.

Step 6

Add the soy sauce and stir well.

Step 7

Season with salt and pepper to taste and pan fry for a few minutes. Serve and enjoy!
