Ingredients

1 t minced garlic

1/2 t minced ginger

1/4 yellow onion, finely diced

1/2 cup peas, fresh or frozen

1/2 cup corn, fresh or frozen

1/2 cup shredded carrot

1 cups cooked quinoa (1/4 dry)

1 tsp mirin (rice wine vinegar)

1 Tbsp soy sauce or tamari

1 eggs

salt + pepper, to taste (I didn't need any)

Directions

Coat medium saucepan with cooking spray and put over medium heat. Saute garlic and ginger for 1 minute. Add vegetables and cook until thawed, about 3 to 4 minutes. Add quinoa, soy sauce and mirin. Cook for 3 to 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until quinoa has absorbed the liquid.

In the middle of your saucepan, push fried quinoa to the side to create a hole. Pour egg inside the hole and let cook for 1 to 2 minutes. Gently mix the quinoa and eggs. Let cook for an additional minute. Mix again. Repeat until egg is completely cooked. Season with salt + pepper.

To serve, portion quinoa fried rice into two bowls and top with Sriracha, if desired.
