Quinoa Fried Rice

I love fried rice, and especially mixed with some quinoa instead of just rice. It gives it a little more fibre from the quinoa, but still kind of the same texture as the rice, and especially when you mix the two. Fried rice is also a good way to include some of your daily veggies, so just let your imagination free and use whatever you can find in the refrigerator.

Ingredients:
1 cup cooked quinoa
1/2 cup rice
Lunch meat
1 cup julienne cut carrots
1 cup frozen peas
1/2 cup edamame beans
4 eggs


salt and pepper
Soy sauce (optional)

Directions:
Cook quinoa and rice separately after instructions on the package. Cut carrots into julienne, or strips, if you would like. Saute the carrots in a pan until tender. Cut lunch meat into squares and sauté with the carrots. Scoop the carrots and meat to one side of the pan, and scramble eggs on the other side. When scrambled, combine the two and add quinoa, rice, thawed peas, and beans. Heat up under a lid, and taste with salt and pepper.

Enjoy!
