Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook carrot, stirring occasionally, until it softens, about 1 minute. Add bell pepper, ginger, garlic and chile, if desired; cook, stirring frequently, about 2 minutes. Add peas, sprinkle with remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt and pepper and cook, stirring frequently for 1 minute.
Remove vegetables and return skillet to heat; add quinoa, along with egg. Cook, stirring constantly, until egg is evenly distributed, for about 2 minutes. Add vegetables, chicken, scallions, cilantro and soy sauce; cook 1 minute more.
Divide stir-fry among 4 bowls, serve warm.
