Pork Fried Quinoa

Servings 4

Ingredients
  

  • 2 tbsp oil divided
  • 1/3 cup chopped onion
  • 1 medium carrot thinly sliced
  • 1/2 cup sliced mushrooms
  • 1/2 cup chopped cabbage (optional)
  • 2 tbsp soy sauce divided
  • 1 pork steak, pork chop, or chicken breast 1/2-1 lb.
  • 1 cup quinoa
  • 2 cups chicken broth
  • 1 egg beaten
  • 1 tsp oil

Instructions
 

  • Sauté onion in one tablespoon heated oil in saucepan till almost tender. Cut pork or chicken into small pieces. Add to onion and stir fry till meat is brown. Remove to a separate bowl. Heat second tablespoon of oil. Add quinoa and stir constantly for about 1 minute to toast.
  • Add pork and onion mixture, carrot, mushrooms, cabbage, chicken broth, and one tablespoon soy sauce. Stir and bring to gentle boil. Turn heat to low, cover, and let simmer 20 minutes or until all moisture is absorbed.
  • Beat egg with second tablespoon soy sauce. Set stove at medium heat. Heat a teaspoon of oil in a small skillet. Pour egg mixture in skillet. Let cook, lifting the edges so uncooked egg will flow underneath, like you would in cooking an omelet.  When eggs are almost set, flip the eggs over in the skillet. Use a knife to cut the eggs into small strips. Add to quinoa and stir gently. Cover and cook 3-5 more minutes.
