I've made this with rice and quinoa. I found the original recipe I believe in the Flat Belly Diet book but I've personalized it more. I like to call it Edamame Salad.

1/4 dry quinoa or brown rice
1/2 c shelled edamame (you can buy them in the frozen veggie section out of the pods already. I buy SeaPoint Farms)
1 c frozen pepper stir fry (or you can cut up your own pepper. Today I made it with one green bell pepper, but red would be good as well. I've also seen mini peppers in a variety of colors that would be delicious as well)
2 T fresh salsa or Thai garlic chili sauce.

Put 1/2 c water into a small pan, add quinoa or rice, chopped peppers and edamame. Bring to a boil, reduce heat, cover and simmer for about 13 minutes. You may need to add 2/3 c to make sure the quinoa has enough to absorb while cooking. Spoon into bowl and top with salsa or chili sauce! Soooo yummy!!! Last week I made it with green beans, carrots and wax beans instead of the peppers and it was just as yummy. It's so healthy and colorful, makes me feel good! :) Oh and filling!!!! :)
