Note: For best texture quinoa is cooked the previous day and stored in refrigerator until it is time to add it to the recipe. Having it precooked also cuts cook/prep time in half.

This recipe is great with Mongolian Beef (or we often substitute chicken in that recipe)! 

Until Next Time- Truly Love,

Cassie

      Mia if you can boil water you can cook quinoa! It is a lot like minute rice where it soaks up the water. But it takes a little longer than minute rice! haha.

      Belinda- It is a pretty good recipe! Seeing how we don’t eat out much it mixes things up for us. We get to eat some “Chinese” at home!
