Quinoawokki / Quinoa stir fry

So first of all, I've decided to write only English on my blog from this day. Why? Because I find it easier and it's a good way of learning more English. And just because most of the people in the world speak English, I suppose. You can still find the recipes in Finnish though.

So the idea of making this quinoa-thingy came across my mind when we had leftover quinoa in our fridge. I was planning to make a noodle stir fry, but I thought the same recipe would go well with quinoa too. And boy was it great! Enough saltness, flavors and colors. Just perfect for a light dinner. Vegan dinner, if you prefer it so. 

Yesterday, there was a hockey game in my hometown. The States vs. Porvoo Hunters. It was a world-class thing for my team and me. Of course we were giving them high fives and screaming when they scored. It was so much fun!

I wonder if they're still in the hoods.. I could go and make them some food. They'd probably scream for meat, but they could go and buy a burger after they'd finish their plate in my place. 

I still can't believe I actually high-fived a hockey player from the States. Actually around twenty of them. FANGIRLING.

Oh hi quinoa. Nice to see you again. I almost forgot you when I was talking about hockey so much. But I still do love you. And so will lots and lots of people all around the world when they try making you. 

Resepti:

5 dl keitettyä quinoaa

2 porkkanaa, raastettuna

Sekoita soijakastike, sokeri ja murskattu valkosipuli keskenään.
