Chinese fried rice (made with quinoa)
I made this last night for my family and it was a huge hit..
1 cup quinoa
2 cups low sodium chicken broth
1/4 cup frozen peas
1/4 cup frozen corn
1 tsp soy sauce
1/4 cup green onions
2 eggs (I used egg beaters)
1 tsp soy sauce
1 tsp ketchup
1 tsp mustard
add quinoa and broth to sauce pan...bring to a boil..reduce temp to low, cover and let simmer 10 mins...fluff quinoa with a fork..add peas, corn, soy sauce, and green onions....scramble eggs in a separate pan....add eggs to quinoa mixture...mix 1 tsp soy sauce, ketchup and mustard together and then add to quinoa mixture...serve hot..it's delish!
I served it for dinner last night but today I heated some up for lunch threw a few shrimp in and it was also very good..
1 lb of ground beef
1/2 head of cabbage chopped
1 tbp spray butter
1 can diced tomatoes
1 can rotel diced tomatoes
mozarella cheese
1 cup quinoa
1 can beef or chicken broth low sodium..
preheat overn to 350 deg
put 1 cup quinoa in a sauce pan..add the broth and boil...let simmer for 10 - 15 mins (as directed on box)
Brown the ground beef..in a separate pan, add chopped cabbage with the spray butter..cover and let it coo****il wilted...drain the gound beef and add to the cabbage pan...add both cans of tomatoes and the quinoa...cook for 2 mins until all the flavors have combined...
put the mixture in a baking dish..top with cheese and bake for 20 mins...everything is cooked so you are really just letting the flavors fully combine and letting the cheese melt..
My family loves it..I add the rotel because my husband and son like a lil heat...but if you don't like spice at all then just two cans of the tomates will also work.
1 lb ground beef (I also use turkey)
2 cans diced tomatoes
1 cup quinoa
1 can beef or chicken low sodium broth
1 cup frozen corn
mozarella cheese
In a saucepan bring 1 can broth to a boil..add the quinoa..reduce heat and cover ..let simmer 10-15 mins...brown 1 lb of ground beef or turkey...drain well..add tomatoes and frozen corn..add quinoa and cheese and serve!!
soooooooo yummy!
