- When popped, amaranth has a mild toasted sesame flavor that is perfect in a stir-fry vegetable dish such as this. Pop only the amount of grain you need because leftovers won't keep.
- To pop amaranth: Place heavy small skillet over high heat till very warm.
- Add in 1 Tbsp. of amaranth and cook, stirring constantly with a wooden spoon, for 10 to 15 seconds or possibly till most of the seeds have popped and turned white. Transfer to a bowl and continue cooking remaining seeds 1 Tbsp. at a time. Set aside.
- In wok or possibly large skillet, heat oil over medium-high heat. Add in cabbage, leeks and bell pepper and cook, stirring constantly, just till wilted, about 3 min. Remove from heat and sprinkle with lemon juice. Transfer to hot serving dish and sprinkle with popped amaranth. Serve right away.
- VARIATION: For a more pronounced Asian flavor, stir 2 Tbsp. light soy sauce into vegetables with lemon juice.
