Ingredients

  • 2 cups low sodium chicken broth
  • 1 cup quinoa, rinsed
  • 2 tsp extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 tsp toasted sesame oil
  • 1 tbsp minced garlic
  • 1 cup carrots, shredded
  • 1 cup frozen peas
  • 3 green onions, thinly sliced
  • 2 eggs
  • 2 tbsp less-sodium soy sauce
  • salt, to taste
  • black pepper, to taste

Instructions

  • 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.
