Here I am after a fun filled vacation, trying really hard to get back to routine. Quinoa has a lot of health benefits and is rich in protein. I have been trying to incorporate more of it in our diet and this fried rice with leftover quinoa is easy and also very tasty. It is just a modified version of the fried rice posted here. 
Here the quinoa is flavored with soy sauce and chilli sauce and is loaded with tons of veggies. It is best to not overcook the vegetables for this dish. Off to the recipe.
