Perfectly Balance Your Plate
serve with 1 cup sliced veggies.
Ingredients
4 cups hot water
2 cups uncooked quinoa, preferably white
2 small bell peppers
1 cup fresh broccoli florets
4 eggs
1⁄2 tbsp oil
1 cup frozen edamame
Preparation
- Mix hot water, quinoa, and seasoning in Multipurpose Steamer. Cover; microwave on high until tender and water has absorbed, 12–15 min.
- Meanwhile, slice bell peppers. Cut broccoli florets into bite sized pieces. Whisk eggs in a small bowl.
- Heat oil in a wok over medium-high heat. Add bell peppers, broccoli, and edamame; stir-fry until tender-crisp, 3–4 min. Add quinoa; mix well. Continue to stir occasionally – this is to allow the quinoa to get crispy, about 2–3 min.
- Add eggs and scramble into quinoa.
