Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Combine water, quinoa, and salt in a pot over medium-high heat; bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer until all water has been absorbed, about 15 minutes. Remove from the heat and fluff with a fork.

Step 2

Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add bell pepper and saute until soft, about 5 minutes. Add garlic and saute until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Pour eggs into the skillet; cook and stir until eggs are set, about 5 minutes.

Step 3

Mix the egg-vegetable mixture into the quinoa. Add soy sauce and sriracha and garnish with green onions.
