Share:
Ingredients
- 1 cup quinoa White, red, black and tricolor quinoa would all work
- 2 cups water or broth chicken stock, vegetable stock would both work
- 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil olive, coconut and avocado oil would all work
Instructions
- Place quinoa in a medium-mesh strainer and wash under cold running water until it runs clear.
- Grease the rice cooker insert with a tablespoon of vegetable oil to prevent sticking. I use a sheet of paper towel to distribute the oil evenly throughout the insert.
- Place rinsed quinoa, liquid of your choice, and salt. Give it a stir.
- Put the lid on and press the white rice setting on your rice cooker. If your rice cooker does not have that function, just press "cook".
- It should take somewhere between 25-35 minutes for it to cook completely.
- Once it is done, fluff it with a fork and serve.

- Best Way To Store: Store cooked quinoa in an airtight container after it comes to room temperature. Keep it in the fridge until ready to serve.
- Can I use other seasonings to flavor my quinoa? You sure can. Start with small amounts of (1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon or so) of ground cumin, ground coriander, and even ground turmeric and adjust to your liking.
