Instructions

  1. Whisk the rice vinegar, palm sugar, sesame oil, and salt together. Soak the carrots in the mixture.
  2. Cook your quinoa according to package directions.
  3. Mix all ingredients. Roll into small meatballs with your hands (they might feel wet and heavy – pop them in the fridge or freezer for a few minutes to get them to hold their shape a bit better if needed). Heat a little bit of olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the meatballs and fry until golden brown on the outside and fully cooked (not pink) inside.
  4. Layer the carrots and meatballs over cooked quinoa. Top with herbs, peanuts, and/or spicy mayo.
