A delicious and nutritious vegan pineapple fried quinoa that combines the sweetness of pineapple with colorful vegetables and savory quinoa. Perfect for a quick and flavorful meal!
Ingredients: 2 cups cooked quinoa. 1 cup pineapple chunks. 1 cup diced bell peppers assorted colors. 1 cup sliced carrots. 1 cup snap peas, trimmed. ½ cup chopped scallions. ¼ cup soy sauce. 2 tablespoons sesame oil. 1 tablespoon maple syrup. 1 tablespoon rice vinegar. 1 teaspoon minced ginger. 1 teaspoon minced garlic. ½ teaspoon red pepper flakes optional. Salt and pepper to taste. 2 tablespoons vegetable oil for cooking.
Instructions: Warm up the vegetable oil in a big pan or wok over medium-high heat. Put in the minced garlic and ginger. Saut for one minute, until the smell is nice. Dice the bell pepper, carrots, and snap peas and add them. For three to four minutes, or until the vegetables are slightly soft but still crisp, stir-fry them. Move the vegetables to the side of the pan, and if you need to, add a little more oil. Then, add the cooked quinoa. To toast the quinoa, stir-fry it for two to three minutes. After adding the pineapple chunks and chopped scallions, mix the quinoa with the vegetables that have been sauted. Combine well. Soy sauce, sesame oil, maple syrup, rice vinegar, and red pepper flakes if using should all be mixed together in a small bowl using a whisk. Add the sauce to the quinoa mixture and mix it all together until it’s well covered. Add pepper and salt to taste. Keep cooking for another two to three minutes, or until everything is hot. If you want, you can add more scallions to the top of the hot vegan pineapple fried quinoa.
