Garlic Gingered Stir Fry with Quinoa
For dinner tonight I tried the Garlic Gingered Broccoli recipe but with lots of other stuff thrown in with the broccoli. I added onions, bean sprouts, cooked shrimp, and shiitake mushrooms to the broccoli and used an extra tablespoon or two of tamari. The last thing I added was a handful of cashews…yum!
To go with it, I boiled quinoa per package directions, but I tossed in some green onions and minced garlic (sauteed briefly first) and toward the end of the quinoa cooking time, some frozen peas.
Basically I got all of these ingredients and the idea for the quinoa from my recipes I followed over the weekend, Roasted Brussels Sprouts with Fennel and Shiitake Mushrooms, and Warm Quinoa Salad with Shrimp and Asparagus. I don’t have an actual recipe to share, but it was easy and turned out great. The photo above is of my husband’s plate, but since he had his stir fry on top of the quinoa, here’s a photo of the quinoa cooking too.
By the way, this made a TON of food…I guess without a recipe I am not so great at judging amounts yet. But we don’t mind leftovers around here, so we have some yummy stuff for lunch and/or dinner later this week!
