INGREDIENTS

  • Main Ingredients

    • 1 ½ cups water
    • 1 cup quinoa
    • 🧂 Salt to taste
    • 2 ½ tablespoons soy sauce
    • 1 ½ tablespoons teriyaki sauce
    • ¾ teaspoon sesame oil
    • 1 tablespoon olive oil, divided
    • 🥕 2 carrots, peeled and chopped
    • 🧅 ¼ onion, chopped
    • 3 scallions, chopped, divided
    • 🧄 3 cloves garlic, minced
    • ½ teaspoon minced fresh ginger
    • 🥚 2 eggs, beaten
    • ½ cup frozen peas

STEPS

1

Bring water and quinoa to a boil in a saucepan; season with salt. Reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer until quinoa is tender and water has been absorbed (15 to 20 minutes). Remove saucepan from heat and let sit for 5 minutes; fluff quinoa with a fork. Refrigerate until cool, 8 hours to overnight.

2

Mix soy sauce, teriyaki sauce, and sesame oil together in a bowl until sauce is evenly mixed.

3

Heat 1 1/2 teaspoons olive oil in a large skillet over high heat; sauté carrots and onion for 2 minutes. Add 2 scallions, garlic, and ginger; sauté until fragrant, about 2 minutes more. Add the remaining 1 1/2 teaspoons olive oil and quinoa. Cook until heated through (about 2 minutes).

4

Stir sauce into quinoa mixture; cook and stir until evenly coated, about 2 minutes.

5

Make a well in the center of the quinoa mixture. Pour eggs into the well; cook and stir until eggs are scrambled and cooked through, 2 to 3 minutes. Add peas and cook until heated through, 2 to 3 minutes. Add remaining scallion.
