Quinoa pronounced as ‘keen-wah’ is one of the most popular Health foods in recent days. Gluten free, rich in protein and incredibly nutritious are the reasons which makes this cereal grain the most wanted.
White, Red and Black are the three main types of Quinoa and I have tried various recipes using this.
The classic Chinese dish gets a makeover with quinoa. I substituted Rice with White Quinoa and it tasted amazing. There are so many variations you could do with this recipe. You can add eggs, mushrooms, sweet corn, frozen peas along with other veggies and they would go so well with Quinoa as well. With very minimal ingredients this recipe took exactly 30 minutes to prepare. I cooked Quinoa in normal water however if you would like to enhance the taste then you could very well cook them in veg stock.
