Ingredients

This recipe uses the following ingredients:

• Quinoa
• Cucumbers
• Carrot
• Red bell pepper
• Small red cabbage
• Edamame beans

For the sauce, you'll need:

• Peanut butter
• Soy sauce
• Sesame oil
• Sriracha
• Lime juice

Instructions

1. Rinse the quinoa thoroughly under cold water to remove any bitter taste. Drain well.
2. In a saucepan, bring the water or vegetable broth to a boil. Add the quinoa, reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for about 15 minutes or until the liquid is absorbed and the quinoa is tender. Remove from heat and let it cool.
3. In a separate pot, boil water and blanch the edamame beans for about 3 minutes if using frozen beans, or 5 minutes if using fresh beans. Drain and rinse with cold water to stop the cooking process.
4. In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked quinoa, edamame beans, julienned or grated carrot, bell peppers, cucumber, and thinly sliced red cabbage.
5. In a small bowl, whisk together the peanut butter, soy sauce, sesame oil, maple syrup, and lime juice (or rice vinegar) until well combined. You can adjust the consistency of the sauce by adding a little water if needed.
6. Pour the peanut sauce over the salad mixture and toss gently to coat all ingredients evenly.
7. Taste and adjust the seasonings if needed.
