Hi there! The Test Kitchen says that yes, you can use quinoa instead of rice. :) We do not recommend cooking the quinoa with the cabbage, but rather cooking it separately and then adding it to the cooked dish. Enjoy!

Used white rice as brown rice has 80% more arsenic in it than white rice chopped 1/2 green pepper and 2 beef bouillon cubes can add 2 teaspoons apple cider vinegar to kick it up a bit very good

Hi there! Yes, this recipe can be made with white rice, however it will change the provided Nutritional Information and most likely make this recipe not diabetic-friendly. Thanks!
