Instructions

1. Rinse the quinoa well in a bowl, rubbing it with your fingers, then drain thoroughly.
2. Return the quinoa to the bowl, add 1¾ cups water and bring to a rolling boil over high heat. Reduce the heat to low, cover and cook until tender but not mushy.
3. Turn off the heat, cover and rest for 10 minutes. Fluff with a fork and let it cool.
4. Separate the white and green parts of the spring onions. Mix the soy sauce and rice vinegar in a small bowl. If using eggs, beat them well in a bowl.
5. Heat the oil in a wok over medium-high heat. Add the green chilli, the white parts of the spring onions (optional) and the garlic, and fry for about 1 minute until fragrant without browning.
6. Add the vegetables and salt and stir-fry until slightly tender but not overcooked. Reduce the heat to medium.
7. If using eggs, push the vegetables to one side, pour in the beaten eggs and scramble until soft-set, without overcooking.
8. Add the cooled quinoa, the soy and vinegar mixture and the black pepper. Stir-fry for 1-2 minutes until the quinoa is hot.
9. Stir in the green parts of the spring onions, if using. Taste and add more salt or soy sauce if you like. Serve hot or warm.
