Tips on cooking quinoa:

  1. The ratio of water to use is 2 cups of liquid to 1 cup of uncooked quinoa.
  2. Stir it into boiling water or broth, cover with lid and allow it to simmer on low heat until al dente. Fluff with a fork.
  3. The more liquid you use, the softer/mushier the quinoa will be.
