Ingredients
Bowl Ingredients
- 1 cup cooked quinoa
- 2 cups green cabbage shredded or chopped
- 1 cup carrots shredded or finely chopped
- 4 green onions chopped
- 1/4 cup cilantro chopped
- 2/3 avocado chopped or sliced
Peanut Sauce
- 3 tbsp peanut butter
- 2 tbsp lower sodium soy sauce OR coconut aminos if gluten free, use GF labeled soy sauce; if soy-free, use coconut aminos
- 1 tbsp rice wine vinegar
- 1 tsp sesame oil
- 1/2 tbsp honey or if vegan, use agave
Instructions
- Cook quinoa according to package directions (1/3 cup dry quinoa should make about 1 cup cooked; generally cook it with a 2:1 water to quinoa ratio).
- Meanwhile, prepare peanut sauce: combine all ingredients in a bowl and whisk together until well combined and sauce is smooth. (If you want to thin out the sauce a little, you can add it a splash of coconut milk).
- Set out two bowls. Split all the chopped veggies and the cooked quinoa between the two bowls. Top each bowl with half of the peanut sauce. Toss ingredients together to fully coat in the sauce.
