  • 20 g coriander
  • 40 g peanuts (unsalted)
  • 1 lime
  • 2 tbsp soy sauce

Preparation:

Boil the quinoa as indicated on the packaging. If you’re using frozen edamame, add them to the boiling quinoa for the last 4 minutes. Meanwhile, make the courgette noodles using a spiraliser. Heat the olive oil in a pan and brown the mushrooms. Chop the red cabbage, the red chili pepper and the spring onions finely, and chop the peanuts and the coriander coarsely. Mix everything together in a very large bowl and squeeze the lime juice on top. Add the soy sauce and grated ginger and toss everything well.
