I thought it would be good practice for me to check out the carbs (I'm type 2) as I could really use the practice. I'm a carb counter so I can adjust my insulin accordingly.
I used an on-line carb counter here. There are better ones available (such as GoMeals for iPhone/Android) but this one seems to have brand names and that, for me, is always a plus.
I only measured the following ingredients, without adding beverage, desert, or rousing dinner conversation. Grams are approximate.
3/4 cup quinoa - 156.17 g
1 small carrot - 4.4g (based on 1 cup regular sized sliced x 1/2)
1 medium red bell pepper - 4.89g
2 teaspoons grated ginger - 2.54g
1 tablespoon soy sauce - 0.97g (made from soy (tamari)
Comes to 168.97g for the whole meal
divided by umber of people eating

2 people - 84.48g each person
