Preparation

Step 1

Rinse quinoa and cook according to package directions.

Thaw peas by running them under cold water in a colander.

In a large sauté pan, saute peas and chopped veggies in a pan with 2 tablespoons of sesame oil

Once veggies are cooked, add cooked quinoa and stir.

Make a little hole in the center of the veggie-quinoa mixture and crack eggs. Scramble the egg with sea salt in the center of the pan, let cook and then stir it around with the quinoa mixture so everything is mixed together.

Sprinkle tamari, toasted sesame oil, scallions and sesame seeds on top. Serve with chopsticks and enjoy!
