Ingredients You Will Need to Make Quinoa Fried Rice:

Low-sodium chicken broth (or vegetable broth)
Quinoa, rinsed
Extra virgin olive oil
Toasted sesame oil
Minced garlic
Carrots, shredded
Frozen peas
Green onions, minced
Eggs
Less-sodium soy sauce
Salt
Black pepper

How to Make Quinoa Fried Rice:

Heat a medium saucepan over high heat, and add the chicken broth and the quinoa. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to low. Cover and cook for 13-15 minutes until the quinoa is cooked.

Remove the quinoa from the heat and let stand for 5 minutes; uncover and fluff with a fork.  Meanwhile, heat the oils in a large, deep skillet on medium heat. Add the garlic, carrots, peas and ½ of the green onions and “stir fry” until vegetables are tender, about 3-5 minutes.

Push the vegetable mixture to the outside edges of the skillet to open up the center. Crack the eggs into the center of the skillet and scramble with a wood spoon.
When the eggs are cooked through, combine with the vegetables and stir in the soy sauce, salt, and pepper to taste.
