Quinoa “Fried Rice”

Quinoa fried rice is a healthy twist on my classic fried rice recipe, the perfect side dish when you want to incorporate more quinoa in your meals.

Quinoa Fried Rice

Quinoa makes a great alternative to rice in this quick and easy stir fry. I often make a large batch of quinoa, and keep it in my fridge to use throughout the week (it freezes great too). You can easily make this a main dish by adding chicken, shrimp or beef.

This makes a great side dish for your favorite stir-fries. You can make this a main by adding your favorite protein such as shrimp, beef, chicken, or tofu.
