Method

Bring quinoa and water to a boil in a saucepan. Reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer 20 minutes, or until water is absorbed. Set quinoa aside, covered, for 10 minutes.
Add coconut oil to a pan or wok over medium-high heat.
Add onion, garlic, ginger, and red pepper flakes and cook for about 3 minutes, until fragrant.
Add the peas, bell pepper, and pineapple, and cook over high-heat for about 3 minutes, stirring frequently, until the pineapple just starts to caramelize.
Add the cooked quinoa, cilantro, and salt. Mix well and cook for an additional minute. Serve hot.
TIP: Quinoa may also be cooked ahead of time and stored in the fridge to cool.
