INGREDIENTS
  

  • 14 ounces green cabbage, or purple, cut into 1 inch slices
  • ½ cup raw quinoa
  • 1 small carrot, diced
  • ¼ cup small brown onion, sliced
  • 2 teaspoons garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon fresh ginger, grated
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil, or avocado oil
  • 1 teaspoon agave syrup, or honey
  • 2 tablespoons green onion, sliced
  • salt and black pepper, to taste

INSTRUCTIONS
 

  • Prepare the quinoa: Rinse the quinoa and cook according to package directions. Set aside.
  • Cook the base: In a large skillet over medium heat, heat 2 teaspoon oil. Add the carrot and onion, cook for 3–4 minutes, stirring.
  • Add the aromatics and cabbage: Add the garlic and ginger, cook for about 1 minute. Add the cabbage, stir and cook over medium-high heat for about 5 minutes, stirring often.
