Quinoa Stir-Fry.

*BONUS RECIPE!!!!! *

Hi guys & welcome back to zokitchen where I will be teaching you how to make Quinoa Stir-Fry. 

So if anyone has not seen my post about why Quinoa is so good and nutritious for you, please pause right HERE and click HERE &come back to this post later! 

To those of you who have given it a good read through, let's get cooking!

Ingredients: 
- 1 cup of Organic White Quinoa.
-1 cup of filtered water.
-1 Australian Cup Mushroom
-1 egg
-3 cherry tomatoes
- Quarter of an onion.
- A small chunk of cucumber
- A small chunk of carrot
- A handful of cabbage.
-1 TBSP of Chia Seeds.

Please know that these are the ingredients that I like to have with my Quinoa, you can definitely add or take away any vegetables that you do not like! You can add in tofu if you're vegetarian or prawns if you're not. This is the westernized version of Chinese Fried Rice! 

Instructions: 

Firstly, wash your quinoa with cold water. Measure out 1 cup of quinoa is to 1 cup of water.
Tip: You can cook it over the stove or you can put it in a rice cooker and cook it like rice. 

Whilst your quinoa is cooking away, prepare your other ingredients. Pan fry your egg and cut it into pieces once done. Then chop up all your other ingredients as shown above.

Start the fire to high medium heat, add a tablespoon of oil (I used coconut oil, but it's of course totally up to you) and pour all your ingredients into a pan and cook it for roughly around 2-3 mins (do not put the egg in first or it'll be overcooked).

Once your vegetables are starting to sizzle up, add your quinoa into the same pan and stir fry it. Add Soya Sauce whilst cooking your quinoa and let it cook for another 4-5 mins.

When the quinoa starts to pop (LIKE POPCORN!) then you'll know when it's ready. Add in the egg with your chia seeds and give it a little twirl around the pan & it's all ready to be served.

Wasn't that easy my friends? No added salt or sugar needed!!

If you cooked a little too much, you can leave it in the fridge up to 4 days!! THATS 4 DAYS WITH GOOD PROTEIN!!

*** I know most of my viewers are from Brunei and finding Quinoa and Chia Seeds can be rather difficult.
With the help of Royston Poh, You are all in luck! You can find both of the ingredients at Guan Hock Lee!

I hope you enjoy this bonus recipe! Since this is the bonus recipe for the week, another new blog post will be uploaded tomorrow all about nutritional facts!! Keep your eyes ready.

All the best  & Good luck!
