Stir fry quinoa Recipe
I'm not sure I'd make it with the coconut milk again, it was a little sweet for my taste, but overall a good substitute to regular fried rice.
Ingredients
- 2 c rinsed quinoa
- 2 c coconut milk
- 2 c chicken broth
- 3 green onions, diced
- 1 T garlic, minced
- 1 T ginger, microplaned (if you use dry use a little less)
- 3 eggs
- 1 small can pineapple chunks, drained
- 1/2 c peas or 1 can
- cilantro, peanuts and soy sauce for garnish
Directions
- Bring the coconut milk, chicken broth and quinoa to a boil. Reduce to simmer and cook about 15 minutes until done.
- In a wok or large skillet, heat some olive oil and add the green onion, garlic and ginger. Cook about a minute until aromatic.
- Make a hole and scramble the eggs in the center.
- Mix everything together and add the cooked quinoa.
- Cook until the quinoa is slightly crispy.
- Stir in pineapple and peas.
- Garnish with cilantro, peanuts and soy sauce.
