# How to Make:
01 - Combine quinoa, coconut milk, water, and salt in a medium saucepan. Bring to a boil, reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15 minutes until liquid is absorbed. Remove from heat and let sit covered for 5 minutes. Fluff with a fork.
02 - While quinoa cooks, slice bell pepper thinly, julienne or shred carrot, slice cucumber and cabbage, and cook edamame if not already prepared.
03 - In a small bowl, whisk together peanut butter, soy sauce, rice vinegar, lime juice, maple syrup, and sesame oil. Add warm water one tablespoon at a time until dressing is smooth and pourable.
04 - Divide coconut quinoa evenly among four serving bowls. Top each with equal portions of vegetables and edamame.
05 - Drizzle peanut dressing generously over each bowl. Garnish with chopped cilantro and sesame seeds.
06 - Serve immediately for warm bowls, or chill for a refreshing cold bowl option.
