Directions on how to cook Quinoa
The Best Way to Cook Quinoa
Rinse your rise. Several times. This is such an important step because quinoa can be bitter without rinsing. This will also help to mimic the taste of rice more!
Season the cooking liquid. The is also so important! Quinoa, while more flavorful than plain rice, still doesn’t have much flavor on its own. Seasoning the cooking liquid ensure the quinoa will also have little bit of flavor prior to adding the soy sauce.
Use an equal amount of quinoa to liquid. So one cup of liquid for every one cup of quinoa. Also, I like to use low-sodium chicken stock to up the flavor even more.
Cook on a low heat. You barely want the quinoa to be simmering, otherwise it could turn mushy.
Don’t overcook! Once the quinoa is fluffy, remove it from the heat. Fluff with a fork.
