Who isn’t on the look out for a healthy + complete one-dish meal?

Plus, something you can easily reheat and eat again for lunch the next day or for dinner the following night?   

Here it is.

Healthy Fried Rice – a.k.a

(un)Fried Quinoa with Shrimp + Veggies

An important part of this dish is the San-J Tamari (pure soy sauce). I love San-J products because they are gluten free soy products. It’s not easy to find GF soy products because gluten or wheat is often used in soy sauces and asian marinades. While I am not GF, I cook for a lady who is, and often find it difficult to find some sauces that are GF.
