  • ¼ (12 ounce) package boil-in-bag quinoa
  • 1 cucumber, thinly sliced
  • 2 carrots, thinly sliced, or more to taste
  • 6 radishes, thinly sliced, or more to taste
  • ½ cup rice vinegar
  • ¼ cup white sugar
  • 1 tablespoon sesame oil
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • ½ cup egg-free mayonnaise
  • 2 tablespoons sriracha sauce
  • ½ cup chopped peanuts
  • ½ cup chopped cilantro
  • 1 quart water
  • ¼ cup water

Directions

Step 1
Pour 3 quarts water into a saucepan and add boil-in-bag rice packets. Bring to a boil. Cook, uncovered, 8 to 10 minutes. Remove bag using a fork and drain. Pour cooked rice into a bowl.

Step 2
Pour 1 quart water into a saucepan and add boil-in-bag quinoa packet. Bring to a boil. Cook, uncovered, about 10 minutes. Remove bag using a fork and drain. Pour cooked quinoa into a bowl.

Step 3
Place cucumber, carrots, and radishes into a bowl. Combine vinegar, 1/4 cup water, sugar, sesame oil, and salt in a small saucepan and bring to a boil. Pour mixture over the vegetables in the bowl. Let stand 20 minutes, then drain.

Step 4
While vegetables are pickling, combine mayonnaise and sriracha sauce in a small bowl. Stir until well combined and refrigerate until ready to serve.

Step 5
Add 1 cup cooked rice and 1/2 cup cooked quinoa to each of 4 bowls. Divide sriracha mayonnaise evenly between the bowls, drizzling over the rice and quinoa. Layer pickled vegetables on top and add 2 tablespoons each of the chopped peanuts and cilantro.

Cook’s Note:

I used 1 packet of boil-in-bag quinoa (1/4 of a box) and 2 packets of boil-in-bag brown rice (1/2 of a box).
