How to make Quinoa egg fried rice with step by step images
In a pot add water and washed quinoa. Mix well and cook the quinoa in medium flame with lid on. This should take about 8 to 10 minutes. When done (quinoa should have white tail if cooked fully) put off the flame and keep the cooked quinoa aside to cool down. When quinoa is hot it will be little bit sticky after it cools down it will look like individual grains.
Slice onions thin, capsicum into julienne, chop beans, carrot and spring onion. Now heat oil in a pan, add onions, white stalk of spring onion and saute well. Now add chopped beans, carrot, cabbage, green pepper/ capsicum saute well. This should take about just few minutes. Do not overcook it as we want the veggies to be crispy. When the veggies are getting sauteed add pepper powder and salt. Mix well.
When the veggies look sauteed push them to the side of the pan then add beaten egg (I added little salt and pepper powder to the egg as well). Scramble it well and then combine it with the veggies.
Now to the egg veggie mixture add cooked quinoa and toss well. When everything looks combined put off the flame. Serve it hot with ketchup.
