Preparation
Cook the quinoa
Using a strainer, rinse the quinoa. In a medium pot, combine the quinoa, 1 cup water (double for 4 portions) and a pinch of salt; bring to a boil. Reduce the heat, cover and simmer, 16 to 18 min., until tender. Fluff and keep warm.
Sauté the vegetables
Meanwhile, in a large pan, heat a drizzle of oil on medium-high. Sauté the bok choy and edamame, 2 to 3 min., until tender. Add the daikon, spices and S&P; toss well.
Mise en place
Pick the cilantro leaves off the stems; roughly chop the stems and ½ the leaves. Zest and juice the lime.
Make the sauce
In a small bowl, combine the soy sauce, chili sauce and lime juice.
Dress the quinoa
To the pot of quinoa, add the lime zest, chopped cilantro and a drizzle of olive oil; stir well.
Finish & serve
To the pan of vegetables, add ½ the sauce. Cook, stirring frequently, 1 to 2 min., until coated. Divide the quinoa between your bowls. Top with the vegetables and remaining sauce. Garnish with the remaining cilantro. Bon appétit!
