Quinoa with Vegetables and Egg

Quinoa is not only incredibly healthy but also a very versatile grain. It has a mild, neutral taste, which makes it easy to combine with almost anything. Since quinoa is a frequent part of my cooking, I like to constantly change its flavor by adding different vegetables, spices, and sauces 

Ingredients

• 1 cup quinoa

• 2 cups water

• 3 eggs

• 1/8 cup milk (30 ml)

• 1 medium carrot

• 2 celery stalks

• 2 garlic cloves

• 100 g canned corn

• 100 g frozen green peas

• a few green onion stalks

• 5 tbsp soy sauce (I use low-sodium soy sauce)

• 4 tbsp sweet chili sauce

• salt and black pepper to taste

• vegetable oil and butter for cooking

Steps

1. Cook the quinoa in salted water until done

2. Whisk the eggs with milk, lightly season with salt, and cook an omelet in butter

3. Let the omelet cool, then cut into cubes

4. Dice the carrot and celery and sauté in vegetable oil for about 3 minutes, stirring

5. Add minced garlic and green onions and cook for another minute

6. Add corn and peas and cook for a couple more minutes

7. Add quinoa, season with soy sauce and sweet chili sauce, add black pepper, and mix well

8. Add the omelet cubes, gently combine, and remove from heat

Before serving, garnish with green onions
