Quinoa Veggie “Fried Rice” and a Giveaway!

We’re wrapping up breast cancer awareness week with an awesome giveaway! But first, I bring you yet another healthy dish: quinoa veggie fried rice. This recipe here is a spin off my go-to Pancetta Fried Rice except I’ve taken out the greasy, yet amazing pancetta, and added more veggies and substituted quinoa for the brown rice.

Quinoa is one of my favorite ingredients ever. It has so many amazing health benefits with it’s abundance of protein, unsaturated fats and essential vitamins and minerals, and it even helps to reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease and cancer (according toEat to Defeat). Plus, I love the taste of it! It worked so well in this “fried rice” dish, melding so beautifully together with all the veggies. Plus, the drizzled Sriracha was just the icing on the cake!

So here’s how you make this:

We’ll start by sweating out some garlic and onion for about 5 minutes or so.

Then we’ll add in our mushrooms, broccoli and zucchini, letting them get nice and tender.

Next goes in the corn, peas, carrots and quinoa. 

Once that’s heated through, we’ll stir in the ginger and soy sauce.

And finally, we’ll add in the green onions and diced eggs (for the diced eggs, you can just fry 2 beaten eggs over low heat until completely cooked through).

Go ahead and serve immediately with Sriracha - the most important ingredient of all!
