Ingredients
-
1/2 cup quinoa, cooked
-
1 cup water or broth If using broth - low sodium / organic
-
1 tbsp coconut oil
-
1/3 cup yellow onion, chopped
-
1/2 red bell pepper, chopped
-
1/2 cup radishes, chopped
-
1 stalk celery, chopped
-
1/2 tsp garlic powder
-
1/2 tsp ginger powder
-
2 tbsp liquid aminos
-
5 scallions, chopped
Directions
Prepare the quinoa, based on the package’s instructions - but usually a 2:1 ratio of liquid to quinoa. While quinoa is cooking begin steps 2-5. Once it is done, fluff the quinoa and set it aside. (For a little extra depth of flavor, consider preparing quinoa with your favorite broth in place of water)
In a large saute pan or skillet, heat the oil over medium heat. Once hot, add the onion and peppers. Saute for about 3 minutes, or until the onions begin to soften
Add in the radishes and celery and saute for another 2-3 minutes
Stir in the garlic, ginger and liquid aminos
Pour the quinoa into the pan and continue heating over medium-high heat for a few more minutes for all the flavors to blend. Sprinkle the chopped scallions on top and serve with sliced radishes, if desired

WHOOPS. I didn’t read the 1/2 cup COOKED quinoa. (I thought that was a dry measurement). …never mind :-)
this looks great! BUT… is this really meant to be 3 servings… as a main dish?
This was surprisingly good but I added eggs like a traditional fried rice. Once they were scrambled , another time I put a fried egg in top, both versions good. Another time I added left over steak and that kicked it up a notch!
This fried rice was not hard to make and really yummy. I also added a couple eggs like you would in traditional fried rice.
