Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 tablespoon sesame oil
  • 1 cup cooked quinoa, cooled
  • 1/2 cup chopped mixed vegetables (e.g., carrots, peas, corn, bell peppers)
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon grated fresh ginger
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce (or tamari for gluten-free)
  • 1 teaspoon rice vinegar
  • 1/2 teaspoon sriracha (optional)
  • 1 green onion, sliced

Instructions

  1. Heat sesame oil in a non-stick skillet or wok over medium-high heat.
  2. Add mixed vegetables, garlic, and ginger. Stir-fry for 3-5 minutes until vegetables are tender-crisp.
  3. Add the cooled cooked quinoa to the skillet. Break up any clumps.
  4. Stir in soy sauce, rice vinegar, and sriracha (if using).
  5. Cook for another 2-3 minutes, stirring frequently, until the quinoa is heated through and well combined with the vegetables.
  6. Garnish with sliced green onions before serving.

Notes

  • Ensure your quinoa is completely cooled before cooking for the best texture.
  • Feel free to add other vegetables like broccoli florets, edamame, or mushrooms.
  • For added protein, you can include scrambled eggs, tofu, or cooked chicken.
