Ingredients
- 1 cup quinoa, rinsed if necessary
- 2 cups liquid (water, chicken stock, etc.)
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Check the quinoa package to see if your quinoa needs rinsed. If it does, pour 1 cup of quinoa into a fine mesh strainer and rinse thoroughly with cold water.
- Place quinoa, your liquid of choice, and salt into the rice cooker.
- I use the quick cook setting on my Zojirushi Umami rice cooker, and then press the start button to start the cooking process.
- The rice cooker will beep after about 30 minutes, and your quinoa will be ready to serve.
- For a standard rice cooker without all of the bells and whistles, one cooking cycle should be enough to do it. Note that you should let the quinoa set for about 4-5 minutes after it's done cooking and then fluff it.
