I love testing out new vegan recipes! I grabbed this one from a WHILE ago and brought it back. I’ve never made it on my blog but I used to make this often! The best thing about this Quinoa Fried Rice recipe is that it is SO customizable! I can split it up and add meat for my hubby or different veggies for the kids!
Quinoa is one of my favorite grains to work with because it is so versatile! I love using regular whole grain quinoa in place of rice. When I am in need of something a little extra on salads or burritos, TruRoots Sprouted Quinoa Trio is the best! I love the flavor it adds and how it elevates the dish!
Quinoa Fried Rice
- 1 cup TruRoots quinoa
- 2 cups water or vegetable broth
- 1 tbs coconut oil or vegetable oil
- ½ tbs garlic
- ½ tbs ginger
- 1tbs chili paste
- 2 cups of frozen veggies
- optional: bbq pork or shrimp
- optional: gluten free soy sauce
- Boil Quinoa and water together
- Cover and cook on low for 15 minutes
- While that is cooking, heat oil, garlic, and ginger in a skillet or wok
- Add veggies, chili paste, and soy sauce and cook until veggies are soft
- Fold in cooked Quinoa
- Optional: Top with cooked BBQ Pork or Shrimp
If you have time, it is best to put cooked quinoa in the fridge overnight before cooking. In that case, you can add it in at the end and cook until warmed. I love making an effort to make better choices and better meals for my family. That’s why it’s great that I can add in their favorite veggies!
TruRoots provides organic, whole grain products that are quick and easy to make! They can be the base (or topping) or almost any dish. I love adding the Sprouted Quinoa Trio to soups, salads, casseroles, and stir-frys!
The best part is how easy it is to add organic ingredients to meals throughout the week! Even better than that though, is truRoots is offering a 30% off coupon until October 7, 2017!
If you are looking for the perfect ingredient to add a wholesome spin to your family meal, head on over to Target and pick some up!

I’m always looking for good and healthy recipes! Yum!!
This looks healthy and delicious and I love that it’s customizable. Quinoa is such a healthy staple and I’ve never seen the sprouted trio like you’ve shown here.
That sounds delicious! I am definitely going to try this rice sometime soon. My family is going to love it.
I’m a big rice eater, I think my family and I are going to love this.
That looks very good. I would never have thought to use Quinoa as a fried rice. I will definitely have to try. I do already make fried rice at least twice a month.
This sounds delicious! I need to try it!
This looks so yummy. I need to put it on our menu.
I honestly haven’t cooked with quinoa very often and when I do it’s usually in a pre packaged box and I don’t like those! This looks so much like a rice dish I make and sounds delicious!
It’s so nice to learn more about cookig quinoa. I didn’t know that you can leave it overnight after cooking, before you use it in a recipe. That makes a lot of sense. This fried rice looks so good!!!
I’ve used riced cauliflower to make fried rice but never thought about quinoa. It’s such a great idea because it gives that rice, nutty flavor that goes so great with stir-fry or other Asian dishes.
I’ve been looking for some ways to spice up my use or quinoa. I tend to keep it simple but I love the idea of adding more flavors, especially the fried rice variety.
This sounds AND looks delicious. I love having healthier options to some of my favorite dishes.
Yum! Saving this for later, looks great!
I had quinoa once before and it was good. I’m not sure what I expected but it was pretty delicious. Now that I have this recipe, I may actually make it.
I have yet to try quinoa. I need to give this a go.
Love quinoa! It just goes with everything. Plus it can be savory or sweet, so versatile!
I have never had a fried rice like this. It is definitely something that I now want to try.
Quinoa has always intrigued me and I have tried other dishes with it and loved them. I would probably love this, too!
