Fried quinoa

Busy on "avacation" with little Internet, but we're back with your quick and easy dinner for tonight.

Inspired by a similar recipe from the Sweetsonian website, this is a take on fried rice but a healthy version that takes 20 minutes tops (if your quinoa is ready). The best first homemade meal after awhile.

Ginger fried quinoa
Serves one

Ingredients:
1 tablespoon minced ginger
1/2 cup of quinoa
1 egg
2 snow peas or 1 tablespoon green onions sliced (more for visible appeal)
soy sauce
Sriracha (optional)

1. If you already have your batch of quinoa ready use that if not start boiling water and cook the seeds.
2. Spray a frying pan with oil (I used coconut oil) and heat on medium-high. Add the quinoa, snow peas/green onion, and ginger.
3. Add soy sauce to taste. You want it to be browner but not too salty.  I pushed the quinoa into a small block and kinda let it get crispy on the edges to have that "fried rice" look to it.
4. Once done transfer quinoa to a bowl.
5. Use the same pan to fry an egg to your liking. I prefer a runny yoke.
6. Add the egg on top of the quinoa and more green onion on top or sriracha if you'd like.
7. Enjoy your protein packed dinner, I had mine with authentic chopsticks straight from Tokyo.
