Tips

– To add flavor to the quinoa, try adding a tablespoon of butter, a pinch of salt and some herbs or spices to the water before cooking.

– You can also use vegetable or chicken broth instead of water for added flavor.

– If you want to use the quinoa for a cold salad or dish, you can rinse it with cold water after cooking to stop it from continuing to cook.

– To make a creamier quinoa, you can use a 1:2 quinoa to water ratio. This will give the quinoa a softer texture.
