The Perfect Quinoa
Tip 1: Rinse it. Rinse your dry quinoa in water before cooking. This removes some of the 'mush-promoting' grit on the grain. Tip 2: Less is More. (Water) Most boxes of quinoa say to add 2 cups of water for every one cup of dry quinoa. I say that is too much! And remember if you are rinsing your quinoa you will be adding a bit more water anyways. For fluffy quinoa, less water is more. Tip 3: No Peeking! Once you close that pot lid over your cooking quinoa - no peeking! And no stirring! You don't want to disturb the quinoa fluff factory bubbling inside. Tip 4: Let it Sit. After cooking and before you lift the lid, turn OFF the stove and in the words of Kelly Clarkson, "Just Walk Away." Let the quinoa sit for a good 5-10 minutes. Again - no peeking! Tip 5: Stick a Fork in it. Fluff your cooked quinoa with a fork. No mush-enhancing spoons allowed.
