Quinoa Vegetable Stir Fry
Super easy dinner idea loaded with veggies!
Ingredients
- 1 cup quinoa
- 2 cups water
- 2 T toasted sesame oil
- 1/2 cup yellow onion, diced
- 2 cloves of garlic, minced
- 1 T fresh ginger, minced
- 2 heads of broccoli, cut in florets (save the stems for juicing or homemade vegetable broth )
- 2 bell peppers, sliced thin ( I used orange peppers, but any bell pepper will work)
- 2 carrots, shredded or sliced thin
- 1 1/2 cups edamame (If you avoid soy, you can use peas)
- 1/4 cup mirin (see notes)
- 2 1/2 T soy sauce OR Bragg's aminos OR coconut aminos
Instructions
- In small pot , add the quinoa and the water. Bring to a boil, then cover, turn down the heat, and simmer until all the water is absorbed. It should take about 10 minutes.
- In a large saute pan , add the oil, onions, garlic and ginger. Cook on medium heat until the onions look a little translucent. About 5-6 minutes.
- Add in the remaining ingredients, stir and cover. Cook for about 5-6 more minutes. Stir every so often though. When the broccoli has softened a bit, you know it's done.
- Serve immediately or refrigerate for later. This should last a week in the fridge. Enjoy!
Recipe Notes
If you can't find mirin, you can make a substitute by mixing a little sugar with rice wine vinegar.
