Vegetable Quinoa Stir-Fry
Created by: Howcan Team
Ingredients
- 1 cup quinoa
- 2 cups water
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 1 onion, sliced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 bell pepper, sliced
- 1 cup broccoli florets
- 1 cup sliced carrots
- 1 cup snap peas
- 1/4 cup soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons rice vinegar
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1 teaspoon grated ginger
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Sesame seeds 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 quinoa, reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15 minutes. 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 the vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Add the sliced onion and minced garlic, and sauté for 2-3 minutes until fragrant.
- Add the bell pepper, broccoli, carrots, and snap peas to the skillet. Stir-fry for 5-6 minutes until the vegetables are tender-crisp.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, rice vinegar, sesame oil, honey, and grated ginger. Pour the sauce over the vegetables in the skillet and toss to coat evenly. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes.
- Add the cooked quinoa to the skillet and toss everything together until well combined. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Transfer the vegetable quinoa stir-fry to serving plates and garnish with sesame seeds. Serve hot and enjoy!
