I use 2 - 3 cups of cooked quinoa, and 2 cups of chopped vegetables. That makes 3 large or 4 average servings.

Our quinoa veggie stir fry recipe is a great one dish meal. It's also wonderful served with simple mung dhal, or green salad, plus tortillas or chapatis.

This easy vegetable stir fry recipe can be cooked in a wok, a fry pan or sautë pan. Use what veggies you like, or have on hand. That could include onions, garlic, mushrooms, carrots, celery, cabbage, fresh ginger, peppers, zucchini, broccoli, etc.

If you keep the proportions the same, this recipe will expand nicely to serve a crowd. If you want to add fried tofu and minced cilantro or parsley, prepare those ahead.

Comments Or Questions About Quinoa Veggie Stir Fry:

It was delicious - thank you for this recipe. A couple of alterations: I skipped the steps 8 & 9, having cooked the veggies first, then stirring in the quinoa and cooking another 5 minutes. This was my first quinoa, and I loved it - Miranda P.
