The Healthy Voyager: Quinoa Vegetable Fried Rice
Who doesn’t love a heaping bowl of vegetable fried rice? I even like cold fried rice leftovers! How about a little twist on the classic take-out fave by making it with nutrition packed quinoa? It’s light, fluffy and oh so yummalicious! Vegan, gluten free and packed with crunchy veggies ; )
Ingredients:
3 tablespoon vegan butter
1 cup uncooked quinoa
1/2 cup diced green onion
2 teaspoons minced garlic
1/2 cup bean sprouts
1/2 cup diced carrots
2 cups water
2 teaspoons vegan chicken bullion
1/2 teaspoon sugar
1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon ginger
2 or 3 tablespoons soy sauce or tamari
1 (10-ounce) package frozen sweet green peas, thawed
1/2 cup cubed extra firm tofu, pressed, drained (optional)
1 tablespoon sesame oil to sauté tofu in (if using)
Directions:
Melt butter in large skillet and sauté rice, onion, garlic, bean sprouts, and carrots for 4 to 5 minutes.
Stir in water, bullion, sugar, ginger and soy sauce.
Stir and cover. Simmer 20 min.
Stir in peas and cook 5 to 10 minutes.
If you’d like to add tofu, sauté your diced tofu for about 5 minutes over medium heat in about a teaspoon of sesame oil then add it in with the peas.
