How to Make Asian Fried Quinoa Delight

  1. Toast 1 cup quinoa in a large cast iron skillet over high heat for 5-6 minutes, stirring frequently, until lightly golden.
  2. Add 2 cups water or vegetable stock to the skillet. Reduce heat to medium, cover, and simmer for 20 minutes, or until quinoa is cooked and liquid is absorbed.
  3. Transfer cooked quinoa to a bowl to cool.
  4. Wipe the skillet clean. Heat 1 1/2 tablespoons olive oil over medium-high heat.
  5. Add 1 medium onion, thinly sliced, and cook until well-browned and softened (20-30 minutes), stirring occasionally.
  6. Stir in 2 shallots, minced, and cook for 2 minutes. Add 2 cloves garlic, minced; 1 tablespoon grated ginger; and 2 green onions, thinly sliced. Cook for 3-4 minutes.
  7. Add 1 medium carrot, thinly sliced; 1 bunch bok choy, chopped; 2 celery stalks, thinly sliced; 1/2 small head cabbage, thinly sliced; and 1 cup snap peas. Stir until vegetables are just wilted.
  8. Pour in 1/4 cup soy sauce and mix well. Transfer the vegetable mixture to a bowl and keep warm.
  9. Heat the remaining 1 1/2 tablespoons olive oil in the skillet over medium-high heat. Add the cooled quinoa.
  10. Once heated through, pour 2 large eggs over the quinoa and stir-fry until the eggs are cooked.
  11. Return the warm vegetable mixture to the pan. Combine thoroughly.
  12. Adjust seasoning with additional soy sauce to taste.
  13. Serve immediately and enjoy!
