pork fried quinoa

pork fried quinoa
  • 1 cup quinoa
  • 1 1/2 cups cold water
  • salt to taste
  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
  • 1 cup cubed fully cooked ham
  • 1/2 cup diced red bell pepper
  • 1/2 cup chopped green onion, white and green parts separated
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce, or to taste
  • 1 teaspoon chile-garlic sauce (such as Sriracha®), or more to taste (optional)
  • 1 teaspoon sesame seeds, or to taste (optional)


  1. Rinse quinoa in cold water for about 1 minute and drain well.
  2. Place in a saucepan and cover with 1 1/2 cup cold water and salt. Bring to a boil and reduce heat to low. Simmer, covered, until quinoa is tender, about 15 minutes. Remove from heat and let sit for 5 minutes.
  3. Fluff quinoa with a fork and set aside.
  4. Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Cook and stir ham, red bell pepper, and the white parts of the green onion until the ham begins to brown, about 5 minutes. Set chopped green onion tops aside. Add garlic, remove from heat, and stir until garlic becomes aromatic, 1 or 2 minutes.
  5. Stir in quinoa and return to stove over medium-low heat. Cook and stir until warmed through, 2 to 3 minutes. Remove from heat and add vinegar, soy sauce, chile-garlic sauce, and sesame seeds. Garnish with reserved green onion tops.
