Quinoa, Mushroom, and Okra Fryup


Ha, Fryup, get it?? :D   Ok, well it was worth a try.
So this yummy looking little dish, I speak with sarcasm, actually tastes really good.   I like okra, most people I talk to look
at me like I just suggested eating alien brains.   I realize it can get a little slimy when you cook it up, but not always, just depends.
And I haven't exactly figured out what it depends on...sorry.  
 Anyway, take cooked quinoa, throw a portion into a non-stick fry
pan with some oil of your choice, I used Grapeseed Oil in this one.   Start it cooking on med-high while you slice up some mushrooms.  Don't add them in yet, instead add in about half a bag of frozen cut okra, cook for a minute or so, then throw in the mushrooms.
The reason being that I hate overcooked mushrooms, and they cook up so fast.   Sprinkle some cumin over the top, about a teaspoon,
and start stirring,  Now you want the okra to get thawed out and warmed through, but that's about it.  Unless you like it slimy :D
Remember to take it off the heat as soon as it's cooked, and Voila!!  Dinner.   For added flavor salt to taste, or slosh on some Tamari
Sauce.  Tamari is a soy based sauce, a lot like Soy Sauce, but without the wheat!
