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