INGREDIENTS • 2 Eggs (Whisked) • ¼ cup Shallot • 2 stalks Green Onion (Chopped) • ¼ cup Carrot (Finely diced) • 1 cup Cooked Quinoa • 1 tbsp Light Soy Sauce • 1 tsp Chili Bean Paste or Chili Sauce (Optional) • ½ tsp Sesame Seed Oil • ¼ cup Green Peas • Salt & White Pepper (to taste) • 3 tbsp Cooking Oil INSTRUCTIONS • Cook your eggs: In a wok over medium-high heat with a little oil, scramble the eggs until they're cooked through. Then, take them out of the wok and put them aside for now. • Start the aromatic base: Using the same wok, pour in 2 tbsp of cooking oil. Add the shallots and the white parts of the green onions, and stir-fry them for about a minute. • Add the carrots: Toss in the chopped carrots and continue stirring for another two minutes, allowing them to soften slightly. • Combine the main ingredients: Now, add the cooked quinoa, light soy sauce, sesame seed oil, and chili bean paste (or your preferred chili sauce). Give everything a good stir to mix it all together. • Bring back the eggs and add peas: Return the scrambled eggs to the wok, and add the green peas. • Mix thoroughly: Stir everything together until all the ingredients are evenly distributed and heated through. • Taste and adjust: Have a taste and see if you need to add any salt or pepper to enhance the flavor. • Finish with fresh green onion: Finally, sprinkle the remaining chopped green onion over the top and give it a final stir. HOW TO COOK QUINOA INGREDIENTS: • 1 cup quinoa • 1 ¾ cups water or broth (vegetable or chicken) • Pinch of salt (optional) INSTRUCTIONS: • Rinse the Quinoa: Place the quinoa in a fine-mesh strainer. Rinse it thoroughly under cold running water for about 1-2 minutes. This removes the saponin, which can give quinoa a bitter taste. • Combine Ingredients: In a medium saucepan, combine the rinsed quinoa, water or broth, and salt (if using). • Bring to a Boil: Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat. • Simmer: Once boiling, reduce the heat to low, cover the saucepan, and simmer for 15-20 minutes. The quinoa is done when the liquid is absorbed and the grains are tender. • Rest: Remove the saucepan from the heat and let it stand, covered, for 5-10 minutes. This allows the quinoa to steam and become fluffy. • Fluff and Serve: Use a fork to fluff the cooked quinoa before serving.
