"Vegetable Fried Quinoa"
Vegetable Fried Rice has to be a favorite among most. It's simple, quick and delicious and using Quinoa is an awesome addition to this dish. Quinoa is a perfect little grain, full of fiber and Protein. It takes on the flavors of Vegetables very well and I use it to replace Rice on many different occasions and I am always pleased with the outcome...ENJOY!
