Ingredients

  • 1 cup dry quinoa
  • 2 teaspoon olive oil
  • 1 medium onion
  • 1 bell pepper
  • ½ cup shredded carrots
  • ¾ cup sugar snap peas
  • 1 cup broccoli
  • 3 tablespoon soy sauce
  • 1 egg
  • 1 tablespoon siracha or other hot sauce

Instructions

  • Rinse the quinoa under cold water and set aside. Bring a pot of water to a boil and add the quinoa, cooking for 8-12 minutes (check the box, depending on the brand). While that's cooking, start cooking your onion, in 2 teaspoon olive oil, over medium heat. Add in chopped bell pepper, carrots, peas and broccoli. I added in the soy sauce right away, so that I didn't need to add more oil. It helped the veggies absorb the flavor. Then push the veggies to one side of the pan, and crack the egg into the clear side of the pan. You'll want to just gently stir it. Before it's fully cooked, add in the quinoa. Gently fold the egg into the quinoa, until the egg is completely cooked. Then stir up everything in your pan, and top with hot sauce. Dinner: done.

Notes

substitute egg to make this vegan friendly.
