High-protein and fiber rich quinoa rice is a great way to enjoy steamed white rice with your favorite Chinese dishes—supplemented with healthy quinoa. It's the best of both worlds!

Instructions

Toast the quinoa in a dry pan over medium-high heat for 5-8 minutes, or until it is a couple of shades darker and you start to hear a light crackling/popping sound.
If using a rice cooker, transfer the quinoa and rice to your rice cooker pot. Add 2 cups water (i.e. an equal volume of water to quinoa and rice. You can also just use the fill lines in the rice cooker, and the cup it came with). Start the rice cooker, and walk away until it’s done!
If cooking on the stovetop, add the rice and quinoa to a medium pot with a tight-fitting lid. Add 2 1/2 cups of water (some extra water will help avoid accidental burning), bring to a boil, and immediately cover the pot. Reduce the heat to the lowest setting, and cook for 15-20 minutes. Take a peek at the 15-minute mark to make sure the bottom of the pan isn't getting scorched.
When the grains are fluffy and cooked through, fluff with a rice paddle and serve!

Notes

This recipe is most easily made with a rice cooker but you can also follow our instructions for perfect stovetop rice if you don't have one.
