  2. Add water or broth. If you're not sure what you're plan might be to use it for, you might want to just use water. If you know your future plan is savory in personality, broth can be a flavorful option to give it some jazz.
  3. Toss in the salt set the cooker to white rice and hit start on the rice cooker.
  4. On average will be done cooking in around 30 minutes.
  5. Once it's done cooking, wait about 10 minutes and then fluff it with a fork.

Recipe Notes

Rinsing your quinoa gets rid of the tannins that make your quinoa bitter and it will make your quinoa be more digestible.
This is good for making quinoa ahead of time for your week or if you are making it early with no time pressure. However, if you are short of time for dinner, the stove preparation is faster.
