Quinoa Stir Fry

Keep in mind that quinoa has quite a bit of calories, so try to keep the servings on the lighter side. This is definitely a recipe that helps you get rid of all the left over vegetables you have laying around in your fridge. Super handy.
I use a rice cooker for my quinoa. Its way easier than the pan, although my mother would like to differ. For every 1 cup of quinoa, add 2 cups of water.



Ingredients


  • Onion, chopped
  • Garlic, finely minced
  • Broccoli, chopped
  • Zucchini, sliced/chopped
  • Any other vegetables you have in your house, throw them all in here.
  • Quinoa (probably only need 1/2 cup uncooked)
  • Olive oil - in moderation woman, control yourself!
  • Eggs (optional)
  • Nutritional Yeast (optional)
  • Curry Powder (optional)

          Optional

  • Chicken, if you want to make it an entree instead of a side

Directions

  1. Turn stove on medium to medium low, warm up pan
  2. Add 1/2 cup quinoa and 1 cup water plus a tiny bit of olive oil to rice cooker. Set to "quick rice"
  3. Spray olive oil with Misto (just enough so garlic doesnt burn and stick), toss in onions and garlic first
  4. Shortly after go ahead and toss in broccoli and zucchini. 
  5. Eggs which are optional are next
  6. Season with whatever you like
  7. Add quinoa and a tiny bit more oil if you didn't already use a bunch
  8. Boom, stir fry.
