Quinoa Fried Rice with Teriyaki Sauce

  • Begin by preparing the quinoa as instructed on the packing. To make the homemade teriyaki sauce: whisk together the avocado or olive oil, sesame oil, coconut aminos, and maple syrup to make the teriyaki sauce. Set aside.
  • On the stovetop, bring a medium skillet with olive oil to medium heat. Once the oil is warmed, add onion and garlic and cook for 2 minutes until fragrant. Add the chickpeas and cook, stirring, for 5 minutes. Add the broccoli, bell peppers, and carrots. Cook for another 5-7 minutes until the veggies are tender and the chickpeas are golden.
  • Once the veggies are tender, add the quinoa and teriyaki sauce. Fry in the pan, stirring, for another 5-7 minutes until the chickpeas are browned and the quinoa is crisp. Serve immediately!
