Rinse quinoa thoroughly prior to cooking to remove any residue.
Note: Using a small wire strainer makes this really easy, but be careful, quinoa likes to stick to things once wet.
Step 2:
Combine 1/4 cup of quinoa with 1/2 cup of water in a pot. Bring to a boil. Once boiling, reduce heat to low, cover and let simmer for 10-15 minutes.
Step 3:
While quinoa is simmering on low, place your frying pan on the stove top at medium heat and add olive oil. Let heat up for 1-2 minutes.
Step 4:
When oil is warmed, add in your vegetables and stir occasionally until the vegetables soften. Add seasoning at this time, if you prefer.
Step 5:
The vegetables and quinoa should finish at similar times. Quinoa is cooked when each grain is clear and germ (outer layer) is clearly visible.
Add the cooked quinoa into the frying pan with the vegetables and mix it all together.
Step 6:
If you have another pan for the eggs to use, spray the pan with cooking spray, and bring to medium heat. Alternatively, empty the contents of the frying pan onto your plate and re-use for the eggs at medium heat.
Cook the eggs however you please, but we recommend a runny yolk, as it can add some great flavor to the dish as you eat it.
Tips & Tricks:
Hot sauce is a great addition for those looking for some heat.
Use any vegetables you would like or none at all. These are just some of the best when sauteed. Consider also leafy greens and mushrooms.
Cook extra quinoa and/or vegetables to save for other dishes. They heat up very well and last a number of days.
