Instructions:
- Rinse the quinoa under cold water.
- In a small pot, add the rinsed quinoa and 1/2 cup of water. Bring to a boil.
- Reduce the heat to a simmer, cover, and cook for about 15 minutes, or until the water is absorbed and the quinoa is tender. Fluff with a fork and set aside.
- Bring a pot of water to a boil and blanch the broccoli florets for about 3 minutes until bright green and just tender. Drain and set aside.
- In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the minced ginger and diced onions. Sauté for 2-3 minutes until the onions are translucent and the ginger is fragrant.
- Add the blanched broccoli and continue to sauté for another 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Add the chopped spinach and cook until wilted, about 2 minutes.
- Season the broccoli mixture with salt and black pepper to taste.
- Stir in the cooked quinoa, lime juice, and soaked chia seeds. Mix well to combine.
- Sprinkle the finely chopped coriander leaves over the mixture and stir to incorporate. Keep the hash warm over low heat.
- In a non-stick pan, heat a small amount of olive oil over medium heat.
- Crack the eggs into the pan, being careful not to break the yolks. Fry until the whites are set but the yolks are still runny, about 3-4 minutes. For firmer yolks, cover the pan with a lid and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes.
- Divide the broccoli hash evenly between two plates.
- Top each serving with a fried egg.
- Optionally, garnish with additional coriander leaves and a sprinkle of black pepper.
- Serve immediately and enjoy your nourishing broccoli hash with fried egg!
Tips:
- Ensure your quinoa is cooked properly by rinsing it under cold water before boiling to remove its natural coating, which can taste bitter.
- For extra flavor, toast the quinoa in a dry pan for a few minutes before boiling it.
- Cut the broccoli into small, even pieces to ensure they cook evenly and remain tender-crisp.
- Heat the olive oil in the pan before adding the broccoli to help it cook faster and more evenly.
- Use fresh ginger root for the best flavor, and finely chop or grate it to distribute it evenly throughout the hash.
- Don't overcook the spinach; add it towards the end of the cooking process to keep it vibrant and nutrient-rich.
- Season the dish with salt and pepper to taste, and don’t be afraid to add more if needed.
- If you prefer a runnier yolk, cook the eggs sunny-side up or over-easy, but if you prefer a firmer yolk, cook them over-medium or over-hard.
- Chia seeds can be added towards the end to retain their crunch, or soaked in water beforehand if a softer texture is preferred.
- Garnish with more fresh coriander leaves or a squeeze of lime juice just before serving for a burst of freshness.
