Random dinner of the week



The Munchkin and M both had quesadillas for dinner, and we were short on tortillas so I whipped up this random meal for me.

Sichuan style veggies with Quinoa

2 cups of cabbage,  shredded
2 cups of green beans, trimmed
1 orange pepper, cut into strips
1 tbl of grated ginger
1 scallion, chopped

for the sauce
2 tbl black bean or tamari
1 tbl rice wine vinegar
1 tsp sugar (i used brown)
1/2 tsp cornstarch
1/4 tsp pepper
1/4 tsp red pepper
2 table spoon water


-whisk all sauce ingredients and set aside.

-heat a tbl of oil in a wok or pan and stir fry until green beans are bright green, but still tender-crisp.
-add ginger and stir fry about a minute (don't let ginger burn)
-add sauce and scallions at the end and toss.

Serve with quinoa
