Shrimp Fried Rice Quinoa looks just like a regular fried rice. I just love quinoa’s versatility as we can serve it as a side or easily turn it into a one-dish main like this.
I had previously made a similar fried quinoa – see Quinoa Fried Rice Recipe (with salmon) so you see how easy it is to use quinoa like you would with rice and there can be endless combinations for fried quinoa so feel free to use whatever ingredients you like.
I buy quinoa online from this seller on Qoo10 as I think their quinoa is one of the most reasonably priced in the market and the quality is just as good as those overpriced ones. Besides, if you’re an existing Qoo10 user, you can still make use of your coupons and/or Q-points for more savings. Very worthwhile deal!
Note I’m not affiliated with them so please contact the seller directly if you have any questions.
