Tommy’s Quinoa Fried “Rice”

October 5, 2020 by Leave a Comment

If you’d like a healthier and easier version of the traditional fried rice, try swapping out the rice for quinoa in this easy quinoa fried “rice” recipe! It’s super flavorful and delicious, and only takes about 10 minutes to make. It cooks in one skillet so there’s minimal clean-up and since you will be using Tommy’s veggies, there’s no washing, peeling or chopping required!  Use either Tommy’s Asian Fusion (shown) or our Veggie Medley for a tasty,healthy, easy fried quinoa “rice”.  This is a crave-worthy recipe you will want to make weekly.

Quinoa is gluten-free, and one of the few plant foods that contain sufficient amounts of all nine essential amino acids making it a perfect protein. It is also high in fiber, magnesium, B vitamins, iron, potassium, calcium, phosphorus, vitamin E and various beneficial antioxidants.  It contains 3 to 4 times more nutrients than brown rice.
