Quinoa is a new staple in our house, so I’ve been on the look out for different ways to use it. Thanks for coming by and partying with us at Fluster Buster’s Creative Muster.

I’ve never cooked with quinoa, but this recipe sounds delicious! I’d love if you’d come and share at Inspire Us Thursday at Organized 31. http://organized31.blogspot.com/2013/06/inspire-us-thursday-link-party-3.html
this was delicious!! great for meat-free days (the eggs don’t count!). really yummy and easy dinner.
I am so happy you liked it! It has become a staple at our house!
Hi what is Quiona?
This recipe isn’t gluten Farr because of the soy sauce.
Oh, I don’t think I said it was gluten free, but a great soy sauce substitute would be liquid aminos, which is GF. Hope you give it a try!
Sounds wonderful!
This looks so good! Can you add edamame to this?
Lisa, that would be a GREAT addition! Total yum!
Great! Any suggestions as to how much and when to add it to the cooking process?
If it is defrosted I would add it towards the end, because it doesn’t take long to be heated through. If it’s frozen, I would add it with this step: Add mushrooms, broccoli and zucchini. Cook, stirring constantly, until vegetables are tender, about 3-4 minutes. Hope you like it!
Thanks!
Remember to buy gf soy sauce though…regular soy sauce is not gluten-free.
Congrats! This recipe has been nominated to win my Inspired Recipe of the Year Award. The shortlist will be announced on 12/30/2013.
this sounds great! One tip for anyone who doesn’t cook fried rice often, the secret to a great tasting dish is…sesame oil! It will change the way you cook Asian cuisine. Just substitute your olive oil for the sesame oil and voila, delish dish!
Love it!! We use quinoa in our stir fry too. I’ve never made the recipe from Damn Delicious, but I know I have it saved. Totally trying it! Yours looks great!
This is so good! I just cooked some for me and my brother and it’s delicious! Thanks for sharing!
This was delicious! My husband and I do 5:2 fasting and we can eat a portion of this on our fast days because a portion is low enough in calories and it really fills you up.
Isn’t it delicious?! I am so happy it fits into your dietary needs!
made this for dinner tonight and it was delicious!!! I have so much left over I can’t wait to keep eating it the next few days!
This is one of our families all time favorite recipes! I am so happy you loved it! The leftovers always reheat really well, too!
