Wash the quinoa thoroughly and strain away all the excess water
-
In a deep pot add the coconut milk, kaffir lime leaves, salt coconut oil and sugar
-
add the quinoa over high heat and bring to a boil

once its boiling, reduce the heat to very low cover an allow it to cook for 20 minutes

-
In a bowl shred the palm sugar

Combine with sesame oil, lime juice, fish sauce, soy sauce and red pepper flakes and set aside.
-
Cut off the bottom of the bok choy and wash thoroughly and dry the leaves
-
Slice the red onion into thick slices.
-
toss the bok choy leaves and red onion slices in oil
-
Place on a hot grill and grill for a few seconds per side. Do not allow the leaves to char too much.
-
After you get some grill marks on them flip to the other side and then remove from the heat and place in a bowl
-
Chop into bite sized pieces (I find it easier to use a kitchen sheer)
-
Pour half the sauce over the grilled veggies and the other half over the meatballs.
