How to make Quinoa Stir-Fry with Vegetables and Chicken

Place quinoa in a small saucepan with 180ml water and 1/4 teaspoons salt. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low. Cover and cook, undisturbed, until quinoa absorbs water, about 15 minutes. Remove from heat, fluff with a fork and leave uncovered. Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook carrot, stirring occasionally, until it softens, about 1 minute. Add pepper, ginger, garlic and chilli, if desired; cook, stirring frequently, about 2 minutes. Add peas, sprinkle with remaining 1/4 teaspoons salt and pepper and cook, stirring frequently, 1 minute. Remove vegetables and return skillet to heat; add quinoa, along with egg. Cook, stirring constantly, until egg is evenly distributed, about 2 minutes. Add vegetables, chicken, spring onions, coriander and soy sauce; cook 1 minute more. Divide stir-fry among 4 bowls; serve warm.
