Ingredients
2 servings

2 tbspspeanut butter

2 tbspssoya sauce

1.5 tspshoney

1.5 tspsred wine vinegar

1 Tbsplime juice

1 tspsginger
fresh grated

2 tspsspicy chili oil

½ tspsesame oil

½ tspdry coriander

1 cupquinoa
cooked, cooled, or pre-cooked and packaged

1.5 tspsolive oil

8 ozcole slaw mix
packaged

0.5red bell pepper
diced

2green onion tops
sliced

1 tspdry parsley

¾ cupfrozen edamame beans
and thawed
Instructions
Step 1
Mix the peanut butter and soya sauce together, microwaving just a few seconds to thin and whisk it. Then add the honey, red wine vinegar, lime juice, ginger, spicy chili oil, sesame oil and coriander. Set aside.
Step 2
Add 1 1/2 tsps olive oil to a pan and heat to medium high. Add 1/4 cup of the quinoa and fry it 7-10 minutes to toast it. This pre-cooked and packed quinoa I found was so easy. Having said that, cooking quinoa doesn't take very long, about 15 minutes, so use whatever you find. Once the 1/4 cup of quinoa is toasted set that aside.
Step 3

In a large bowl add the rest of the quinoa, coleslaw, red bell pepper, green onions, parsley, and edamame. Pour in about 1/2 - 3/4 of the dressing, toss together and serve. Leave the rest of the dressing on the table for those who may want to add more to their plate.
