Instructions
Instant Pot Quinoa
Combine the water, quinoa and salt in an Instant Pot.
Place the lid on the Instant Pot and set the steam valve to the “sealing” position.
Use the manual button to set the Instant Pot to high for 1 minute.
After the timer beeps 3 times, wait 10 minutes before releasing any remaining pressure from the Instant Pot.
Remove the lid from the Instant Pot and fluff the quinoa with a fork.
Stovetop Quinoa
Combine the water, quinoa and salt in a medium saucepan.
Bring to a boil.
Reduce the heat to low, cover and simmer for 15 minutes.
Remove from the heat and let the quinoa sit covered for 10 minutes.
Uncover the quinoa and fluff with a fork.
Rice Cooker Quinoa
Combine the water, quinoa and salt in a rice cooker.
Cook for 35 minutes, or use the "whole grain" setting on your rice cooker.
Notes
One cup dry quinoa = approximately 3 cups cooked quinoa.
Use broth instead of water for more flavorful quinoa.
Always rinse the quinoa before cooking.
