For the quinoa bites:
2
Rinse quinoa then combine with water in a small sauce pan. Bring to a boil and then cover and simmer until water is absorbed (about 20 minutes). While quinoa cooks, combine remaining ingredients in a large bowl.
3
Preheat oven to 350u00b0F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or Silpat. Add quinoa to the bowl when finished cooking and combine all ingredients with clean hands.
4
Form mixture into golfball-sized balls. (This will be messy but they should come together enough to form balls. If not, add a bit more breadcrumbs.) Place on baking sheet. Bake for 20 minutes.
5
If any of the balls have cracked while cooking, reshape them while still hot, then let cool to harden.
6
For the dipping sauce, combine yogurt and Sriracha in small bowl and stir together.
