How to Cook Quinoa



INGREDIENTS (US):
1 cup quinoa (6oz)
1½ cup water (12.5oz)

INGREDIENTS (International):
170g quinoa 360g water

For crunchier quinoa, use only 1 cup (240g) of water.

INSTRUCTIONS
– Thoroughly wash the quinoa to remove the bitter-tasting saponins from the outer layer. Drain the Quinoa properly before moving on.
– Place a small pot over high heat, pour in the water and bring it to the boil.
– As soon as the water starts to boil add the Quinoa to the water, give it a good stir with a fork and cover the pot with the lid.
– Lower the heat to the minimum and cook the grains for 15 minutes.
– Once that time is up, turn off the heat and let the Quinoa rest for another three minutes before removing the lid.
– Fluff the quinoa with a fork, transfer it onto a dish and spread it. – This will stop the Quinoa from coking any further.

    I cook it in my rice cooker, exactly like rice except I let it sit a little longer before I fluff it and then let it sit again and its perfect!
