    1 Rinse quinoa well then place in a large saucepan with 2 cups cold water. Bring to the boil then reduce heat to low, cover and simmer for about 12-15 minutes or until all water has evaporated and quinoa is tender. Transfer to a large mixing bowl and set aside to cool.

    2 Meanwhile, place snow peas in a large, heatproof bowl. Cover with boiling water and set aside for 30 seconds. Refresh peas under cold running water then drain well.

    3 Place cooled quinoa, snow peas, carrots, onions, coriander, peanuts and chilli in a large bowl. Place lemon juice, soy sauce and sugar in a small bowl and stir to dissolve sugar. Add to quinoa and toss to combine.

    4 Divide quinoa among lettuce cups. Top each with prawns and extra coriander. Serve immediately.

    Variations

    • Replace prawns with cooked chicken or pork pieces.
    • Make it gluten free: Use gluten-free soy sauce.
