Boil the quinoa the night before and store it in the fridge. This way it will be dry when you cook it in the wok. Pre-heat a wok over high heat for 2 minutes. Add the onion along with 1 tablespoon of veggie oil, ¼ teaspoon of kosher salt, and a couple cracks of pepper. Cook for 30 seconds stirring often. Add the garlic and ginger and cook for another 30 seconds stirring often. Add the beaten eggs and cook for 10 seconds until they resemble very soft scrambled eggs. Add the cooked quinoa and mix well. Add the soy sauce and next 5 ingredients and mix well. Cook for a couple minutes so the quinoa really soaks up the flavor, taste and adjust seasoning if necessary. Take wok off the heat and add the green onions and sesame seeds.
