Tasty Tuesday – Quinoa Fried Rice

|

This recipe is courtesy of Damn Delicious.  I love that it is cost-effective and HEALTHY (well, basically).  There is no MSG, has a bunch of protein, vegetables and amazing flavor.   This makes a ton of food, so this is an awesome recipe to make on Sunday for meal prep for the week – great for lunches, a side for dinner or even a nighttime snack.

Ingredients:

3 cups of cooked quinoa

3 eggs cooked

1/2 cup frozen peas

1/2 cup frozen corn

1 white onion, chopped

1 zucchini, chopped

2 green onions, sliced

8 ounces mushrooms, sliced

2 carrots, peeled and grated (or chopped)

1 head of broccoli, chopped into florets

4 tablespoons of soy sauce (There are sodium & gluten free options)

2 tablespoons of olive oil, divided

Sriracha

Directions:

1. Heat olive oil in a medium skillet over low-medium heat.
2. Add eggs and fry 2-3 minutes per side until cooked through. Let cool, then dice into small pieces.
3. Heat one tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
4. Add garlic and onion and cook until onions have become transparent (4-5 min).
5. Add mushrooms, broccoli and zucchini. Cook until vegetables are tender, stirring constantly.

Serve immediately and drizzle with Sriracha for a spicy kick!  Let me know what you think.
