CHAUFA DE QUINOA

INGREDIENTS

- 1 1/2 cup of quinoa

- 2 1/2 cups filtered water

- 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil

- 250 gr diced raw chicken

- 2 eggs

- 1/2 teaspoon fresh ginger (finely chopped)

- 4 units of green onion 

- 1/2 tablespoon sesame seeds

- 1 1/2 tablespoon soy sauce 

- Dash of salt

PREPARATION

Place 1 1/2 cups of quinoa on a strainer and wash under running water. It's important to wash the quinoa very well, until the water is clear, that way we can remove the bitterness. Once it is clean, we can place it in the rice cooker, add 2 1/2 cups of filtered water and let it cook for 20 minutes. After this time, grain the quinoa with a long fork so as to remove  any lumps.

By the other hand, heat 1 tablespoon olive oil on a pan over the stove add 250 gr of chopped chicken (small cubes), add a dash of salt and cover to fry, let it cook for a couple of minutes, add 1/2 teaspoon of finely chopped fresh ginger, add 4 units of green onions previously chopped, finally add 1/2 tablespoon of sesame seeds and fry only for a couple of minutes more so that the onion doesn't get too cooked and stays crunchy. 

Finally, mix all our cooked ingredients: the quinoa, scrambled eggs and chicken, add 1 1/2 tablespoons of soy sauce and it's ready to serve!

Enjoy!

PREP TIME: 40 MIN

TIPS

• Wash the quinoa very well or until the water is transparent. This will eliminate the bitter taste.

• Also you can cook the quinoa in a pot on the stove.
