A little while back ago I decided to make potstickers that were made up of simple ingredients: cabbage, carrots, green onions, soy sauce, and some rice wine vinegar.  I absolutely adored the taste and knew I wanted to make potstickers again.  The only problem?  I stood there for 45 minutes pleating my little heart out.

So, while help from one of my new favorite grains, I turned my potsticker recipe into a “ready-in-15-minute” lunch.  I combined all the ingredients of the potstickers with quinoa and had a satisfying, tasty lunch.  Some how cabbage has managed to be a staple in my diet recently (it helps that I get fresh cabbage from my csa!)

So, if your in need of a potsticker fix I recommend you try this.  This recipe would also be great with rice or any other of your favorite grains!

    I made this for dinner tonight to use up a bunch of cabbage from my CSA box and it was great. I made your potstickers last week but I wasn’t up for pleating again tonight so this was perfect. Thanks for the great recipes!

    I just bought a big old bag of quinoa and have been trying to find some scrumptious recipes to use it up.  Needless to say, I'll be salivating over this until I've actually made it.
