Stir-Fried Quinoa with Italian Sausage and Holy Basil (คีนัวไส้กรอกอิตาเลียนผัดกะเพรา)

1.Rinse the quinoa under running water until the water runs clear. Drain and place in a pot with the measured water. Let it soak for 5 minutes.

2.Bring to a boil, then cover with a lid, reduce to low heat, and simmer for 14 minutes. Turn off the heat and let sit for 5 minutes.

3.Remove the lid and spread the quinoa out on a tray to cool (this keeps it from getting soggy when stir-fried).

4.Pound the garlic and chilies together into a coarse paste.

5.In a small pan or wok, heat the rice bran oil. Fry 5 g of holy basil leaves until crispy. Remove and drain on paper towels.

6.Use 2 tablespoons of the reserved oil to stir-fry the Italian sausage until cooked. Add the garlic-chili paste, diced bell pepper, and the remaining 20 g of holy basil leaves. Stir until fragrant.

7.Add the cooked quinoa. Season with oyster sauce, seasoning sauce, sugar, and salt. Stir well to combine.

8.Serve on a plate. Garnish with diced cucumber, cherry tomatoes, and crispy fried basil. Serve with boiled eggs on the side.
