Fried "Rice" (Quinoa)

A healthier version of fried rice.  Super yummy- I didn't particularly miss the rice.

Note: the kinds of veggies, the amount you use, the kind of protein (if any) and the length of cooking time is all a matter of preference.  This is just a guide.  The first time I made this I used a little bit of chicken in it.  I often have shrimp in the freezer, that would go well, too.  Pork, beef, whatever you want- or keep it veggie.

Ingredients:

2-3 cups cooled or leftover quinoa (cooked)
diced hard veggies (I used onion, carrot, broccoli)
2-3 eggs, lightly whisked
frozen peas
fresh green onions for garnish

Sauce:

1 1/2 tbsp teriyaki sauce
2 1/2 tbsp soy sauce
1 tsp oil (sesame if you like it- I just used canola)
2 big garlic cloves, minced/grated
1/2-3/4 tsp minced fresh ginger

Directions:


In a little bit of oil, saute your hard veggies. Add a little bit more oil and your cooked quinoa.  Stir fry for a few minutes then add your sauce.  Stir fry a few more minutes then make a well and add a little bit of oil and your eggs.  Scramble and let cook in the well then incorporate throughout whole dish.  Add in peas till warmed through.  I topped with fresh green onions. 

Note: If you find anything sticking to the bottom of your wok during the process, you can add a splash of chicken broth to help things start moving and unsticking.
