INGREDIENTS
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 red onion diced
4 cloves garlic diced or finely chopped
2 teaspoons of finely chopped ginger
4 cups of cooked and salted brown rice and quinoa (I used the Sunrise rice and quinoa)
1 tablespoon of sesame oil
1 tablespoon of maple syrup
2 finely sliced spring onions
1 cup of roasted peanuts (buy raw peanuts and bake in oven until golden with a drizzle of olive oil and sea salt)
Coriander leaves to garnish on top (optional)

METHOD
Heat the olive oil in a pan over a moderate heat and stir fry the red onion, garlic and ginger until slightly caramelised.
Add the cooked rice and quinoa and stir fry lightly.
Add the spring onions and roasted peanuts and heat until those ingredients are warmed through.
Stir through the maple syrup and sesame oil and decorate with a few coriander leaves before serving.
Lastly add chopped up kimchi before serving try not to cook too much as this can damage the good bacteria.

TO SERVE
Serve with teriyaki salmon or chicken for extra protein, or with additional fresh vegetables.
