2
Simmer the quinoa. Add the quinoa, salt (plus any optional aromatics, see below) and stir to combine. Reduce heat to medium to maintain a vigorous simmer. Cook the quinoa for ⏱️ 12-15 minutes, or until it is chewy and tender to the taste and looks translucent. (The white curlicue germs should also be poking out from the seeds.)
3
Drain the quinoa. Drain the quinoa completely through a fine-mesh strainer.
4
Steam the quinoa. Tranfer the quinoa back to the saucepan. Remove the pan from the heat, cover it with a clean dishtowel, and rest for ⏱️ 5-10 minutes so that the quinoa can steam.
5
Fluff and season the quinoa. Fluff the quinoa with a fork. Taste, and season with extra salt if needed.
6
Serve warm. Serve and enjoy!
