Notes
Always cook the quinoa beforehand, cool it overnight and then use it to make this Quinoa Fried Rice. It will allow the grains to stay separate and the rice will not be mushy.If you are in a hurry or forgot to cook the quinoa beforehand, just make it freeze it for an hour. Then use it to make the fried rice.Quinoa grains have a coating of saponin over the grains. Do wash it a few times before using it any recipes to get rid of the bitterness. You can buy Gluten Free Quinoa Grains here.Always fluff the cooked quinoa after 5-10 minutes of cooking. It will help to separate the grains.Use chicken stock or vegetable stock to cook the quinoa. Also known as chicken broth or vegetable broth, it will add a very nice flavor to the final dish. You can buy it here.You can also add sauces like teriyaki sauce and oyster sauce to enhance the flavor of this rice.Add vegetables of your choice like broccoli, beans, mushroom etc if you wish to. You can also add chicken to this rice.Add 2 eggs and scramble them to make it into an egg fried rice.You can also use frozen veggie mix to make this rice.I have used olive oil to make this dish but you can use sesame oil or peanut oil too.
