Vegetable Fried "Rice"

Who doesn't love Chinese food? I know I do, but I hate that guilty, way-too-full feeling that follows it. The rice is my favorite part. Tonight I satisfied my rice craving by making a healthier version. I substituted rice for quinoa, and voila! Vegetable fried rice!

Ingredients: 

2 tbsp olive oil

2 large eggs, beaten

2 cloves garlic, minced

8 oz. mushrooms, sliced

1 head broccoli, cut into florets

1 chopped zucchini

1/2 cup frozen corn

1/2 cup frozen peas

2 carrots, peeled and chopped

3 cups cooked quinoa 

1 tbsp fresh grated ginger

3 tbsp soy sauce

2 green onions, sliced

Directions: 

1. Heat 1 tbsp olive oil in a skillet. Add eggs, fry until cooked through but only flip once (2-3 mins per side). Dice into small pieces once cooled off a bit.

2. Heat remaining tbsp olive oil in new skillet. Add garlic and onion and sauté while stirring until onions become cooked (4-5 mins).

3. Add mushrooms, broccoli, and zucchini. Cook until tender.

4. Add corn, peas, carrots, and quinoa. Cook until heated through.

5. Add ginger and soy sauce, mix until combined. Cook about 2 minutes.

6. Stir in green onions and eggs. Serve while hot!
