Preparation
Step 1
Rinse quinoa in a fine mesh strainer prior to cooking to rinse off the natural bitter coating. Place quinoa in a small saucepan with 1 1/2 cups water and 1/4 teaspoon salt. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low. Cover and cook, undisturbed, until quinoa absorbs water, about 10-15 minutes. Remove from heat, fluff with a fork and leave uncovered.
Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add onion and garlic, and cook for about 2 minutes. Add zucchini, carrot, bell pepper, eggplant, greens, chile pepper and ginger. Stir frequently for about 2 minutes. Remove vegetables and return skillet to heat; add quinoa, along with beaten eggs. Cook, stirring constantly, until eggs are evenly distributed, about 2 minutes. Add vegetables, chicken, black beans, green onions, cilantro and soy sauce, lime juice and black pepper; cook 1 minute more.
