Cuisine: Breakfast
Serves: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 1 cup quinoa
- 1 cup wild rice
- 2 cups vegetable broth
- 1 bell pepper, diced
- 1 cup broccoli florets
- 2 eggs, beaten
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Begin by rinsing the quinoa and wild rice under cold water in a fine-mesh strainer. This helps to remove any bitterness from the quinoa and ensures the wild rice is clean.
- In a medium saucepan, combine the rinsed quinoa, wild rice, and vegetable broth. Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat.
- Once boiling, reduce the heat to low, cover the saucepan, and let it simmer for about 20 minutes, or until the wild rice is tender and the quinoa has absorbed the broth. Remove from heat and let it sit covered for an additional 5 minutes.
- While the grains are cooking, prepare the vegetables. Dice the bell pepper and cut the broccoli into small florets. Set aside.
- In a large skillet or wok, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Once the oil is hot, add the diced bell pepper and broccoli florets. Stir-fry the vegetables for about 5-7 minutes, or until they are tender but still crisp.
- Push the vegetables to one side of the skillet and pour the beaten eggs into the empty side. Scramble the eggs until fully cooked, then mix them with the vegetables.
- Once the quinoa and wild rice are done resting, fluff them with a fork and add them to the skillet with the vegetables and eggs.
- Drizzle the soy sauce over the mixture and stir well to combine. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together.
- Remove the skillet from heat and serve the stir fry breakfast quinoa wild rice warm. Enjoy your nutritious and hearty breakfast!
Tips
- Rinse your quinoa and wild rice thoroughly to remove any bitter coating and ensure a clean, fresh taste.
- Use vegetable broth instead of water for an extra layer of flavor in your grains.
- Make sure your skillet or wok is hot before adding vegetables to achieve that perfect crisp-tender texture.
- Don't overcook the vegetables - they should remain vibrant and slightly crunchy.
- For added protein, consider adding cooked chicken, tofu, or additional eggs.
- Experiment with different vegetables based on what's in season or your personal preferences.
- If you're meal prepping, this dish can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and reheated easily.
