Ingredients
Instructions
-
In a medium saucepan, combine the quinoa and vegetable broth. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for about 15-20 minutes, or until the quinoa is cooked and the broth is absorbed. Fluff with a fork and set aside.
-
In a small bowl, mix the soy sauce with the cooked quinoa until evenly coated.
-
In a large skillet or wok, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Add the minced garlic and diced onion, stirring frequently until fragrant.
-
Add the diced red bell pepper, frozen peas, carrots, and broccoli florets to the skillet. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are tender yet still crisp.
-
Push the vegetables to one side of the skillet, creating a clear space. Pour the beaten eggs into the space and scramble until just cooked. Once the eggs are scrambled, mix them with the vegetables in the skillet.
-
Add the seasoned quinoa to the skillet with the vegetables and eggs. Stir well to combine all the ingredients and heat through.
-
Season with salt and pepper to taste, adjusting the seasoning as needed.
-
Serve the Quinoa and Vegetable Chaufa hot, garnished with sliced green onions and a sprinkle of sesame seeds for a delightful crunch.
