Quinoa Fried “Rice” Recipe by Dr. Daryl

January 12, 2021 Daryl Gioffre

Today, I’m sharing a recipe that is a favorite in our house, and I have a feeling it will be in yours too.

It’s veggie fried rice, made without actual rice, or any egg, so it’s vegan, alkaline, and anti-inflammatory. It is also delicious and filling.

It’s perfect for a cold winter weeknight meal, because it’s ready in minutes, especially if you make the quinoa in advance like we do. The whole thing comes together in about 20 minutes, and we love to try different combinations of veggies in it.

So give it a try and let me know what you think over on Facebook.
