Pork Fried Quinoa Recipes

Steps:

• Heat a saucepan over medium heat and measure in the quinoa. Season with cinnamon and cook until toasted, stirring frequently, about 3 minutes. Pour in the almond milk, water and vanilla and stir in the brown sugar and salt. Bring to a boil, then cook over low heat until the porridge is thick and grains are tender, about 25 minutes. Add more water if needed if the liquid has dried up before it finishes cooking. Stir occasionally, especially at the end, to prevent burning.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F. Cut the pork tenderloin in half crosswise, then in half lengthwise. Rub with 1 tablespoon chili-garlic sauce, and set aside to marinate at least 10 minutes. Meanwhile, cook the quinoa as the label directs.
• Season the pork generously with salt and pepper. Heat the olive oil in a large ovenproof skillet over medium-high heat. Add the pork and cook, turning, until browned all over, about 5 minutes. Transfer the skillet to the oven and roast until a thermometer inserted into the pork registers 140 degrees F to 145 degrees F, 4 to 6 minutes. Transfer to a cutting board to rest.
• Meanwhile, whisk the remaining 2 teaspoons chili-garlic sauce, the peanut butter, soy sauce, lime zest and juice, ¼ teaspoon salt, a few grinds of pepper and 1/4 cup water in a medium bowl.
• Divide the quinoa among bowls; top with the edamame, carrot ribbons and bean sprouts. Thinly slice the pork and add to the bowls. Drizzle with the peanut sauce and top with the cilantro.

Steps:

• Bring water and quinoa to a boil in a saucepan; season with salt. Reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer until quinoa is tender and water has been absorbed, 15 to 20 minutes. Remove saucepan from heat and let sit for 5 minutes; fluff quinoa with a fork. Refrigerate until cool, 8 hours to overnight.
• Mix soy sauce, teriyaki sauce, and sesame oil together in a bowl until sauce is evenly mixed.
• Heat 1 1/2 teaspoons oil in a large skillet over high heat; saute carrots and onion for 2 minutes. Add 2 scallions, garlic, and ginger; saute until fragrant, about 2 minutes more. Add the remaining 1 1/2 teaspoons oil and quinoa; cook until heated through, about 2 minutes.
• Stir sauce into quinoa mixture; cook and stir until evenly coated, about 2 minutes.
• Make well in the center of the quinoa mixture. Pour eggs into the well; cook and stir until eggs are scrambled and cooked through, 2 to 3 minutes. Add peas and cook until heated through, 2 to 3 minutes. Add remaining scallion.
