What do you do with leftover rice and quinoa from last night’s meal? You add some kale and make a fried rice with quinoa and kale dinner. It’s quick and easy and dirties only one pan.

This was a really nice light meal. Vegetarian too. Who would have thought it? Meatless Saturday night. I’ve only eaten one meat meal today and that was lunch when I had some smoked salmon on VitaWeat. I also had some low fat vegemite too.
For breakfast I had low fat yoghurt with some raspberries.
Golden syrup? Intriguing!! I love quinoa and kale, the challenge in my generic suburb is finding fresh, unwilted kale…
My maternal grandparents owned sugar cane farms in Bundaberg. I am a big supporter of the sugar industry 🙂 I’ve always loved Golden Syrup.
Oooh yum yum yum that looks light, healthy and delicious – plus vegetarian which is just perfect for me!
Great photos too,
Cheers, Louise @ WillungaWino.com
Thank you Louise. It was delicious 😀
Hi Gary. Try as I might, I cannot seem to find the taste of quinoa as appealing as cous cous. Any comments?
I think it’s the nutty sort of taste and the look that appeals to me Gail. Couscous is a little bland to me.
