Ingredients

2 cups water
1 cup quinoa, rinsed and drained
¼ teaspoon salt
1 ½ teaspoons olive oil, or as needed
1 medium bell pepper, chopped
1 tablespoon sliced green onions
1 clove garlic, minced
3 large eggs, whisked
2 tablespoons soy sauce
1 tablespoon sriracha sauce, or to taste

Steps:

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