Fried Quinoa for Kids - Super Healthy Kids

Ingredients

  • 1 cup quinoa, rinsed
  • 2 cups vegetable broth or water
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 small onion, diced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 cup mixed vegetables (carrots, peas, bell peppers)
  • 2 eggs, lightly beaten
  • 3 tablespoons soy sauce (or tamari for gluten-free)
  • 1 teaspoon sesame oil
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Green onions, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. In a saucepan, combine the rinsed quinoa and vegetable broth (or water). Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for about 15 minutes, or until the quinoa is fluffy and the liquid has been absorbed. Remove from heat and set aside.
  2. In a large skillet or wok, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add diced onion and garlic, and sauté until the onion becomes translucent.
  3. Add the mixed vegetables to the skillet and stir-fry for about 3-4 minutes, or until they’re tender. You can use fresh or frozen vegetables based on what you have available.
  4. Push the vegetable mixture to the side of the skillet. Pour the beaten eggs into the cleared space and scramble them until cooked through. Once scrambled, mix everything together.
  5. Next, add the cooked quinoa to the skillet, along with soy sauce and sesame oil. Stir well to combine all the ingredients, and cook for another 2-3 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together.
  6. Season with salt and pepper to taste, and remove from heat. Serve warm, garnished with chopped green onions.
