1 cup quinoa
1 1/2 cups water or organic broth
2-4 tsp gluten-free soy sauce
1-2 cloves organic garlic, minced
1 1/2 - 2 cups fresh or frozen veggies such as peas, carrots, and onion
1 cup diced pork
1-2 eggs
olive or coconut oil for stir frying
salt & pepper to taste
The great thing about this dish is that you can use whatever veggies you have on hand. You can add in or eliminate what works for you. Enjoy!
Rinse quinoa in water, drain and allow to dry a bit.
Toss the quinoa straight into pan and allow to toast on medium heat for a minute or two; make sure to stir to prevent burning. Your goal is to remove as much moisture as possible.
Add water, boil, then reduce heat and cook for 12 minutes.
Remove lid and fluff with fork.
While quinoa is cooking, prep the veggies and meat.
This is a perfect recipe to use up leftover pork.
Soft scramble your eggs in the stir fry pan and remove or in cook in another small pan ahead of time.
Stir fry goes quick, so make sure to have all your ingredients ready to go!
In stir fry pan or heavy skillet, add oil and get hot.
Add onion and cook for 3-4 minutes until soft.
Add garlic and cook for 1-2 minutes.
Add remaining veggies and stir fry until tender.
**Use judgment on which veggies to add when. Pea pods don’t take much time, so they can be added later so they don’t get soggy**
