Steps to make Quinoa "Fried" Rice:
  1. In a medium skillet, add quinoa, olive oil and water. bring to a boil and reduce heat. Cover and let simmer for about 15 minutes. Remove from heat and stir. I let it sit for a few minutes before placing in the fridge to cool.
  2. Add olive oil to a seperate pan. Heat and add onions. Immediately add eggs and stir.
  3. Add garlic and chicken. ***I cheated and used a can of organic chicken, due to lack of planning ahead, and it still came out absolutely delicious. I do recommend using fresh chicken, but sometimes it's nice to have an easy substitute!
  4. Once onions (and meat, if applicable) are cooked, add soy sauce, teriyaki sauce, and peas and carrots. Stir and let simmer for about 2 more minutes.

  7. Add salt and pepper, to taste. I barely used any salt, the soy sauce is salty enough.
  8. Remove from heat, and try not to eat everything at once, because it is addicting!!
