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.
