PROTEIN-PACKED SPICY VEGAN QUINOA WITH EDAMAME
I adapted this from a turkey burger recipe when I went vegan. It is also gluten-free if you use gluten-free soy sauce. I use it as a post-workout meal, as it is delicious, satisfying and relatively high in plant-based protein. Enjoy!

Tips:
- For perfect quinoa, rinse it thoroughly before cooking. This removes any bitter-tasting saponins, which are natural compounds found on the surface of quinoa.
- To save time, cook a big batch of quinoa ahead of time and store it in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. You can then use it throughout the week in salads, bowls, and other dishes.
- If you don't have any edamame on hand, you can substitute frozen peas or edamame pasta.
- Feel free to add other vegetables to these lettuce wraps, such as shredded carrots, bell peppers, or zucchini.
- For a spicy kick, add a pinch of cayenne pepper or red pepper flakes to the soy-garlic-chili sauce.
Conclusion:
These edamame and quinoa lettuce wraps are a delicious, healthy, and easy-to-make meal that can be enjoyed for lunch or dinner. They're also a great way to use up leftover quinoa and edamame. With their vibrant colors and flavors, these lettuce wraps are sure to be a hit at your next party or potluck.
