Quinoa
Fried Rice Recipe
“I really had
a lot of trouble naming this dish. It’s Fried Rice. But with quinoa, not rice. For
best results, use leftover quinoa that's been chilled in the refrigerator. If
you don't have time, cook the quinoa but using only 80% of the water that the
recipe calls for on the package. Once the quinoa is cooked, spread it out on a
baking tray or large bowl and place in freezer for 10 minutes. This will chill
the quinoa for the recipe. ” Jaden

Ingredients:
1 tablespoon
cooking oil
2 eggs
1 cup diced
ham
1 stalk green
onion, chopped
1 clove
garlic, finely minced
1 teaspoon
grated fresh ginger
½ cup frozen
peas
2 cups
cooked, chilled quinoa (about 1/2 cup raw)
1½ teaspoon
soy sauce
1 teaspoon
fish sauce
Freshly
ground black pepper
Directions:
Heat a wok or
large sauté pan over high heat.
When hot,
swirl in the oil.
Add in the
eggs and scramble for 15 seconds.
Once the eggs
have just set, remove the eggs to a clean plate or bowl.
Return wok to
stove and turn to medium-high heat.
Add in the
diced ham and cook for 2 minutes until warmed through and browned.
Push the ham
to one side of the wok to leave room to fry the next ingredients.
Add a bit of
cooking oil if necessary.
Add in the
green onion, ginger and garlic, stir fry for 30 seconds until fragrant.
Mix in with
the ham.
Add in the
cooked eggs, frozen peas and quinoa.
Toss and stir
fry for 2 minutes, spreading everything out over the surface of the wok.
Pour in the
soy sauce, fish sauce and add in the black pepper.
Toss again
and stir fry for an additional minute.
Taste and add
in additional soy sauce or fish sauce if needed (remember that the ham is salty
so make sure you grab a bite that includes ham.)
Fish sauce is
the secret ingredient to this dish - if you cannot find it, substitute with
additional
soy sauce
