Created by: Howcan Team
Ingredients
- 1 cup quinoa
- 2 cups water
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 small onion, diced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 red bell pepper, diced
- 1 cup broccoli florets
- 1 cup sliced carrots
- 1/2 cup frozen peas
- 3 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- 1 teaspoon grated ginger
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 2 green onions, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
- Rinse the quinoa under cold water using a fine-mesh strainer. In a medium saucepan, bring 2 cups of water to a boil. Add the rinsed quinoa, reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15 minutes or until all the water is absorbed. Remove from heat and let it sit, covered, for 5 minutes. Fluff with a fork and set aside.
- In a large skillet or wok, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the diced onion and minced garlic, and sauté for 2-3 minutes until fragrant and translucent.
- Add the diced red bell pepper, broccoli florets, sliced carrots, and frozen peas to the skillet. Stir-fry for 5-6 minutes until the vegetables are tender-crisp.
- Add the cooked quinoa to the skillet, along with soy sauce, sesame oil, grated ginger, salt, and pepper. Stir well to combine all the ingredients and heat through for 2-3 minutes.
- Taste and adjust seasoning if needed. Remove from heat and transfer the vegetable fried quinoa to a serving dish. Garnish with chopped green onions and serve hot. Enjoy!
