• Cook the quinoa: First, rinse the quinoa in a fine mesh colander under running water.
• In a medium-sized pot, combine the rinsed quinoa and water.
• Bring the mixture to a gentle boil over medium heat, then reduce the heat to medium-low and gently simmer the quinoa until it has absorbed most or all of the water.
• Remove the quinoa from heat, cover the pot and let it rest for 5 minutes.
• Uncover the pot and fluff the quinoa with a fork. Set it aside to cool. (Here’s how to cook millet.)
• Meanwhile, make the peanut sauce: Whisk together the peanut butter and tamari until smooth (if this is difficult, microwave the mixture for up to 30 seconds to loosen it up). Add the remaining ingredients and whisk until smooth. If the mixture seems too thick to toss into the salad, whisk in a bit of water to loosen it up (I didn’t need to do this).
• In a large serving bowl, combine the cooked quinoa, shredded cabbage, carrot, snow peas, red bell pepper, cilantro, and green onion.
• Toss to combine, then pour in the peanut sauce. Toss again until everything it lightly coated in sauce. Taste, and if it doesn’t taste quite amazing yet, add a pinch of salt and toss again.
• Divide into individual bowls and garnish with peanuts.

Peanut Sauce

• Whisk together peanut butter, soy sauce, lime juice, brown sugar, chili garlic sauce and ginger in a small bowl.
• Whisk in 2-3 tablespoons water until desired consistency is reached; set aside.

Spring Rolls

• Working one at a time, wet rice paper for 10-15 seconds and transfer to a work surface.
• Place lettuce, basil, mint and cilantro in the center of each wrapper; top with carrots, cabbage, bell pepper, cucumber and avocado; season with salt and pepper, to taste.
• Bring the bottom edge of the wrap tightly over the filling and then folding in the sides, rolling from bottom to top until the top of the sheet is reached, being careful not to tear the rice paper; cover with damp paper towels. Repeat with remaining wrappers and filling.
• Serve immediately with peanut sauce.
• To store, cover them with a damp paper towel, then wrap well in plastic wrap, and refrigerate so as to not lose moisture from rice paper. Refrigerating firms and toughens the wrappers slightly (if they are a little dry, wipe them gently with a damp cloth).

• Warm the olive oil in a large pot over medium heat.
• Once the oil is shimmering, add the chopped onion and carrot and cook, stirring often, until the onion has softened and is turning translucent, about 5 minutes.
• Add the garlic, cumin, and thyme. Cook until fragrant while stirring constantly, about 30 seconds. Pour in the drained diced tomatoes and cook for a few more minutes, stirring often, in order to enhance their flavor.
• Pour in the cauliflower, lentils, broth and the water. Add 1 teaspoon salt and a pinch of red pepper flakes. Season generously with freshly ground black pepper. Raise heat and bring the mixture to a boil, then partially cover the pot and reduce the heat to maintain a gentle simmer. Cook for 20 minutes, or until the lentils are tender but still hold their shape.
• Add the chopped greens and cook for 5 more minutes, or until the greens have softened to your liking. Remove the pot from the heat and stir in 1 tablespoon of lemon juice. Taste and season with more salt, pepper and/or lemon juice until the flavors really sing. For a spicier soup, add another pinch or two of red pepper flakes.

• Make sure tofu is well-drained and as dry as possible before adding to marinade.
• In a large bowl, whisk together the marinade ingredients. Add in the cubed tofu. Coat well and allow to marinate for at least 15 minutes, turning often.
• Meanwhile, pre-heat the oven to 400 degrees and line a baking sheet(s) with parchment paper.
• Transfer tofu to baking sheet and bake for 20-25 minutes.
• Remove from oven and sprinkle with sesame oil. Toss and serve.
