Remove from heat, then fluff with a fork.<\/li>\n<li>Meanwhile, in a medium bowl, stir peanut butter with chili sauce, lime juice, soy sauce, ginger, and sesame oil. Trim ends from bok choy, then slice each lengthwise into four pieces. Snap tough ends from asparagus, then slice asparagus diagonally into two-inch (five-cm) pieces.<\/li>\n<li>Heat peanut or vegetable oil in a large non-stick frying pan over medium-high heat. Add bok choy, asparagus, and edamame. Stir-fry for about three minutes or just until tender, adding a couple of tablespoons (30 mL) water if vegetables begin to stick. Add about 2\/3 of the peanut butter sauce and stir-fry for about one minute, or until hot.<\/li>\n<li>Divide quinoa into two or three bowls. Top with bok choy mixture, then sprinkle with carrots, radishes and sprouts. Drizzle with remaining peanut sauce and sprinkle with peanuts.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Additional recipes can be found at <a href=\"http:\/\/www.peanutbureau.ca\" target=\"_blank\">www.peanutbureau.ca<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><em>www.newscanada.com<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Quick, healthy and completely customizable, this quinoa bowl is a delicious vegetarian option.
