Step 1

Whisk the rice vinegar, palm sugar, sesame oil, and salt together. Soak the carrots in the mixture.

Step 2

Cook your quinoa according to package directions.

Step 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.

Step 4

Layer the carrots and meatballs over cooked quinoa. Top with herbs, peanuts, and/or spicy mayo.
