Asian Quinoa
This dish reminds me of a fried rice dish that I use to get when I ate Chinese takeout. This version is made with quinoa which is a much healthier option. This dish is very versatile, you can have it as a side dish or you can turn this dish into breakfast by adding a scrambled egg to the pan and letting it cook before adding the quinoa. You can also add some cooked chicken breast for another lunch or dinner option.
-Quinoa contains almost twice as much fiber as most other grains.
-Quinoa contains Iron, lysine, magnesium, riboflavin (B2) and manganese.

Directions
In a large pan, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add onions, garlic and carrots and cook until softened.
Add the scallions and cook for another few minutes.
Add the coconut aminos and cook until heated. Mix in the cooked quinoa and serve.
