Description
If you think making fluffy, tender, perfectly cooked quinoa is impossible, learn how to boil quinoa like pasta! It’s a super simple technique that you’ll use over and over.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup of dry quinoa
- minimum of 8 cups of water
- 2 tablespoons of kosher salt
Instructions
- Fill your pot with water, then add the kosher salt to the water. You want to salt your water like you would for pasta. Place on the burner over high heat, cover, and wait for the water to boil. Don’t watch it! (Just kidding, a watched pot will eventually boil.)
- While you’re waiting for the water to boil, rinse the quinoa very well in a fine mesh strainer.
- When water is boiling, add the rinsed quinoa. Boil until tender and you can see the outer white ring on the quinoa grains, about 12 minutes.
- Drain quinoa in a fine mesh strainer. Serve hot, or cool and store in the fridge.
