Beef Fried Quinoa

Some of my favorite recipes have been accidents. I wasn't trying to make fried quinoa, but I'm glad I did. I purchased some liquid aminos as a soy sauce substitute, but I was a bit skeptical. It's an awesome substitute for soy sauce and it is gluten free, has no chemicals,  no preservatives, is certified NON-GMO and has no artificial coloring.

Servings: 2
Prep Time: 5 minutes
Cook Time: 25 minutes

2 Tbsp Olive Oil
1/4 cup diced onion
1/2 cup chopped Red Bell Pepper
1 Tbsp Minced Garlic
1 cup Quinoa
2 cups Gluten Free Vegetable Broth
1 Tsp Oregano
1/2 Tsp Paprika
1/2 cup frozen Green Peas
1/4 cup chopped green onion
1/4 cup Braggs Liquid Aminos
1 egg
1 cup cooked Shrimp, Chicken or Beef

In a large sauté pan, over medium heat add the 1st 5 ingredients to pan and stir for about 2 minutes.

Add next 3 ingredients. Stir to mix.

Bring mixture to a boil and cover. Reduce heat to low. Cook for 15 minutes or until most of liquid is gone.

Add green peas to mixture and steam for about 5 minutes.

Remove lid. Stir in liquid aminos.

Add egg to pan and stir until egg is cooked.

Stir in green onions and beef, chicken or shimp.

Serve with additional liquid aminos and enjoy!
