Instructions
1
Wash the quinoa under water. Pour approximately a cup and a half of water into a pot. When the water begins to boil, add the quinoa and a pinch of salt and cook for 20 minutes. Cook until the seeds open. Remove, drain, and set aside.
2
Place the chicken breast on a cutting board. Cut into cubes or dice about medium size. Add some salt. Drizzle some olive oil into a pan and cook the cubed chicken until they brown on the outside and are fully cooked on the inside. Once they're ready, place on a plate and set aside.
3
Finely chop the garlic. Wash and slice the leek, dice or slice the red bell pepper, and finally, peel and chop the carrots into small pieces.
4
Pour some olive oil into the same pan and once it's hot, add the cut vegetables and cook over medium heat for several minutes.
5
Grate a bit of fresh ginger on top of the vegetables (if you don't have fresh ginger you can use a dry one, the spice) and continue cooking for 4-5 more minutes. Remove from the pan.
6
Beat the eggs and use the same pan from begore to cook them into an omelet. Once cooked, chop into smaller pieces.
7
Add the quinoa, vegetables, pieces of omelet and the chicken into a bowl. Mix the ingredients together and add the soy sauce. Mix again and presto! Your special fried quinoa dish is ready to be served.
