Preparation
1
Cook quinoa: Cook the quinoa like pasta. Bring water to a boil on high heat.
Add the quinoa to the boiling water, reduce the heat to low/medium and cook uncovered until desired texture is reached: 15 – 18 minutes. Using a strainer, strain and rinse the quinoa.
2
Prepare the chicken: Cut the chicken in 2 cm cubes. Coat each cube with the cornstarch spice mix. Season with salt & pepper.
3
Cook the chicken:Heat a pan on medium-high heat. Drizzle with oil. Add the chicken cubes ensuring there is space between each cube. Cook 4 minutes (or until crispy), turn and cook an additional 4 minutes. Set aside.
Crispy note: To ensure maximum crispiness of the chicken cubes, turn the cubes carefully with a fork when they easily lift from the pan. Do not move the chicken while its cooking.
6 portions note: If you have a 6 portion meal, you may require 2 pans or you can cook the chicken in 2 batches.
Chicken internal temperature: Ensure the chicken is cooked to an internal temperature of 165ºF.
3
Prepare the carrots and cabbage: Wash and rinse all produce. Cut the carrots and cabbage both in thin slices.
Cabbage note: When opening the cabbage, place the bag under running cold water. This reduces the spread of the gas and smell emitted by the cabbage.
4
Assemble & serve:
Bowl: Arrange all the ingredients in individual bowls, Garnish with the spicy peanut sauce.
Plated: In a bowl combine the romaine, red cabage and carrots. Add half the spice peanut sauce. Combine to make a salad. Plate the quinoa and chicken. Serve with the rest of the spicy peanut sauce and the salad.
Note: this bowl is also delicious the following day. Heat the chicken on a baking sheet to make it crispy. Add the dressing and romaine just before serving to ensure the vegetables stay crunchy.

Cooking for kids?
Feel free to slowly introduce new flavour to children. Some children may need a few tries to enjoy red cabbage. Try giving a little bit of the cabbage to children to see if they like it. You can cut the piece of cabbage in a funny shape to increase their curiosity. If they don’t like it, don’t be concerned, it may take up to 20 exposures for a child to learn to like a food.
