Ingredients
-
1 cup leftover cooked quinoa (super easy when done in a rice cooker and using vegetable broth for more flavor)
1 package mixed vegetables, any variety you like (asian stir-fry, broccoli medley is good)
1 cup frozen edamame, shelled
1 egg
2 tsp canola oil
3 tbsp tamari soy sauce
1 clove minced garlic
optional:
1 tsp corn starch dissolved in warm water
1 tbsp rice wine vinegar added to tamari
Chili pepper flakes
salt and pepper to taste
Directions
Briefly boil/blanch frozen veggies and edamame and heat up wok or stir-fry pan. Add canola oil to hot pan and then add drained veggies. Stir in garlic and cook briefly. Add in quinoa, then tamari/vinegar/corn starch sauce. Stir fry until incorporated and quinoa is hot.
Move mixture up sides of wok to make space in the middle of the pan for the egg. Break into pan and scramble, eventually incorporating into mixture.
Season with pepper flakes, salt and pepper or other seasonings as you like.
NOTE: This makes two VERY generous servings. Could easily be split into 3-4 servings. Low sodium soy sauce could be substituted in place of tamari to lower the sodium.
