Directions Quinoa Fried Rice
Directions
-
Bring water and quinoa to a boil in a saucepan, season with salt. Reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer until quinoa is tender and water has been absorbed, 15 to 20 minutes. Remove saucepan from heat and let sit for 5 minutes, fluff quinoa with a fork. Refrigerate until cool, 8 hours to overnight.
Mix soy sauce, teriyaki sauce, and sesame oil together in a bowl until sauce is evenly mixed.
Heat 1 1/2 teaspoons oil in a large skillet over high heat, saute carrots and onion for 2 minutes. Add 2 scallions, garlic, and ginger, saute until fragrant, about 2 minutes more. Add the remaining 1 1/2 teaspoons oil and quinoa, cook until heated through, about 2 minutes.
Stir sauce into quinoa mixture, cook and stir until evenly coated, about 2 minutes.
Make well in the center of the quinoa mixture. Pour eggs into the well, cook and stir until eggs are scrambled and cooked through, 2 to 3 minutes. Add peas and cook until heated through, 2 to 3 minutes. Add remaining scallion.
