Big Batch Cooked Quinoa
Ingredients
1 teaspoon extra virgin olive oil
1/3 cup dry quinoa, rinsed and drained
1 cup water
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt

Prep. Time → 45 min

Cook Time → 30 min

1. Thinly slice scallion whites, and cut scallion greens into 1/2-inch pieces.

2. In a large skillet, heat 1 teaspoon olive oil, then add snap peas. Cook 1-2 minutes, shaking the pan occasionally, until the snap peas are slightly blistered and getting soft. Transfer snap peas to a bowl and set aside. Wipe out the pan, discarding any remaining water.

3. Return skillet to medium heat and add 1 teaspoon oil. When oil is hot, add the scallions whites, garlic, and shallot, and cook until starting to soften, about 30 seconds. Add mushrooms, scallions greens, and 1 tablespoon water and cook an additional 2 minutes, shaking the vegetables around the pan occasionally, until mushrooms are soft and the scallion greens are wilted.

4. Meanwhile, crack the egg into a small mixing bowl, with kosher salt, freshly ground pepper, and 1/4 teaspoon water and a pinch of salt, and whisk vigorously until the white and the yolk are thoroughly combined. In a medium nonstick skillet, heat 1 teaspoon olive oil over medium heat. Add egg and scramble it by moving the raw egg around the pan with a rubber spatula for about a minute, scraping the bottom of the pan as the egg cooks. When egg is cooked, remove the pan from the heat.

5. When mushrooms are cooked, add vinegar and scrape any browned bits off the bottom of the pan. Add quinoa, snap peas, tamari, and scrambled egg and toss together until the egg is broken up and the mixture is heated through.

6. Quinoa
In a small saucepan with a lid, heat 1 teaspoon olive oil over medium heat. Add quinoa and cook, stirring constantly with a wooden spoon, for about a minute, until quinoa is completely dry and slightly toasted.

7. Add water and salt, and bring the mixture to a boil over high heat. Lower heat to the lowest setting and cook, covered, for 15 minutes. After 15 minutes, remove the pan from the heat and let it stand, covered, for 5 minutes. Remove the lid and fluff the quinoa with a fork.

8. Let quinoa cool completely before storing leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days.
