Quinoa Stir Fry


Quinoa is considered a superfood. Protein content is very high (14% by mass), yet not as high as most beans and legumes. Nutritional evaluations of quinoa indicate that it is a source of complete protein. Furthermore, it is a good source of dietary fiber and phosphorus and is high in magnesium and iron. Quinoa is also a source of calcium, and thus is useful for vegans and those who are lactose intolerant. Quinoa is gluten-free and considered easy to digest.

You will need...
  • 1 cup Quinoa
  • 1 cup water
Cook Quinoa with 1 cup of water in a rice cooker. Set aside when it's cooked.

In a non-stick wok or medium saucepan, drizzle some cooking oil on the bottom of the pan on medium-high heat. Stir fry any choice of chopped meat and chopped vegetables as you prefer, such as chicken breast, broccoli, carrot, soy beans, peas, cabbage, celery, bell pepper, etc. Mix in cooked Quinoa. Stir fry just like when you make Chinese style fried rice. Add seasonings, such as salt, ground pepper, soy sauce, seasoning all, sazon (if you like Spanish rice color), garlic powder, etc. Drizzle some sesame oil when it is done.
