Add quinoa and spread onto a single layer. Lightly season with salt and pepper. Toast quinoa for 2 minutes before stirring. Continue to toast for an additional 2 minutes, constantly stirring. Transfer to paper towels and cool.
Step 5
Fried Wonton Strips: Fill a tall-sided pot with 2 inches of oil, place over medium heat and bring to 325˚F. Stack 6 sheets square wontons together and slice into thin strips. Carefully fry wonton strips in oil, moving mixture around with tongs (to create texture) for 1 to 2 minutes or until wontons lightly brown. Remove from oil and transfer to paper towels. Season with salt.
