Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 cups dry quinoa rinsed thoroughly and drained (recipe note)
  • 3 cups cold water ideally filtered
  • 1/4 teaspoon fine sea salt optional

Instructions

  • Combine quinoa, water and salt (if using) in your rice cooker and give it a quick stir. Select the white rice setting - 25-35 minutes depending on your machine. When it's finished cooking, let the quinoa rest for 5 minutes before you fluff with a fork. Serve as desired.
