Quinoa Fried "Rice"

This recipe is another whatever I have on hand goes in this recipe. Its a quick and easy one for us because we usually have everything handy in our pantry/ refrigerator. I also love that you don't have to have a certain set of ingredients for this. If you have a bag of frozen mixed veggies it would work great, those fresh veggies you bought with good intentions but have gotten a little wilted, perfect throw them in. you can even add leftover chicken or tofu. This recipe knows no season, whatever is in season is in our version of Quinoa Fried “Rice”.

Serves 5-6

1 C. Dry Quinoa
2 Tbs Oil
1 Tbs minced fresh Ginger
2 cloves Garlic minced
3-5 C any combination of chopped Veggies (3C if using Greens) Bell Peppers, Zucchini, Snow Peas, Carrots, Asparagus, Broccoli, Squash, ect
3 C Greens spinach, bok choy, kale, chard ect.
2-3 Tbs Braggs Liquid Aminos (we use as soy sauce)
Sirracha if desired

Tonight we had so many yummy veggies we left out the greens.

Cook Quinoa according to package directions. In a large skillet over Medium heat add 1 Tbs oil, garlic and ginger. Cook for 30 seconds,  then add Veggies cook until soft.

 Scoot Vegetables to one side of pan and add additional 1 Tbs oil to pan, add quinoa to empty oiled side of pan. Cook about 2 minutes, or until it starts to brown. Add in greens and mix everything together. When greens begin to wilt stir in Liquid Aminos.

Tonight's version has Beyond Meat Grilled Not Chicken Strips, Snow Peas, Asparagus, Red and Orange Bell Peppers and Yellow Crookneck Squash.
