Quinoa Stir-Fry

April 22, 2018 No Comments

Hi I am Brandon a Peruvian Cook, I recently arrived to USA , people here is been nice so far, and some of them were asking me about Quinoa, they wanted to know a bit more about it, how its consumed on Peru, so I decided to share this recipe with you. In Peru we consume Quinoa in different ways, In beverages, in Stews, in Breads, in salads even in cocktails, today I will bring you something different is like an Stir-fry Rice, but instead of using rice we will use Quinoa! Sounds great right?, If you are ready to Cook lets start! Remember ingredients & tools I use would be at the bottom of the page! Quinoa Stir-Fry | Servings 4 Ingredients : Steps are really simple and actually you can use any veggie that you want or have on your fridge, so keep that in mind. Directions : First thing you need to do is to cook your Quinoa, I suggest you to give it a quick wash and rinse twice or 3 times to remove the Saponin (this makes Quinoa taste bitter) then cook your Quinoa with 3 1/2 Cups of Water for 12 min in a pan in medium/high heat. Once its cooked rinse the quinoa and reserve If you are using Chicken you should dice the chicken and cook it 1st (then reserve) then in the same pan cook the veggies, this will add extra flavor to them. Now you need to prepare your veggies, since we are going to saute the veggies, I suggest you to dice them really small, 2 inch size. Once you are ready we are going to Sautee them(except the Spring onion) Set your stove to high heat in a large pan or wok, let it get hot 1st then add oil ( 2 tablespoons) then add your veggies and dont touch them let them seal after 2 min (aprox) saute. Once they are cooked you add your chicken, Spring onions, Quinoa and keep moving a bit for at least 2 min then add Soy sauce, sugar and some salt if needed actually I didnt have to use much salt since the soy sauce I used was salty so keep that in mind In my case I didnt use chicken so I replaced it with some boiled eggs. Dont forget to enjoy! I think this recipe is really tasty and healthy, I think that if you never tried Quinoa before this might be a good start.
