Quinoa Stir Fry

This was really good - I liked it a lot..  My love, on the other hand, did not.  The things he does for me :)  Eats things he doesn't like, sits in a house that smells like stinky sesame oil..  He's a righteous dude.


I found this recipe on Pinterest and it was linked to this gal's website, which might I add, is pretty awesome.  I've found so many different recipes on her page that I've pinned and am going to try.

Here's what you'll need:

1 tablespoon sesame oil
1-1/2 cups cooked quinoa
1 cup bean sprouts (I used about 1-1/2 cup)
2 cups fresh spinach
1 cup chopped mushrooms (optional, but I added it)
2 tablespoons low sodium soy sauce
1 teaspoon chili garlic sauce (I added two while cooking and then added another 1/2 teaspoon while eating)
1 tablespoon sesame seeds

Cook the quinoa according to the package directions.  Heat the sesame oil in a large pan or wok then add the quinoa, bean sprouts and mushrooms.  Cook 1-2 minutes, or until golden brown.

Add the spinach, soy sauce, and chili garlic sauce and stir until the leaves have cooked down and everything is well combined, about another 1-2 minutes.

Divide among two bowls/plates and top with sesame seeds.



Very easy.  Very Tasty.
