Steps:

  • Wash the quinoa with water, using a strainer. Same as you would wash rice.
  • Place quinoa and water in a 1 1/2 quart/ medium sized saucepan, bring to a boil. Reduce to a simmer, cover, and cook until all of the water is absorbed (about 15 minutes).
  • You will know that the quinoa is done when all the grains have turned from white to transparent, and the spiral-like germ has separated.
