Instructions

Add the rinsed quinoa and the water (or chicken broth) to a saucepan. Over medium heat, bring the liquid to a boil.
Once it boils, add 1 teaspoon of salt and stir.
Bring the mixture back up to a boil, give it a final stir, cover it with a lid, lower the heat to low, and simmer for 20 minutes.
After 20 minutes, the liquid should be absorbed. If it hasn’t been absorbed, then cover with the lid and allow it to simmer for a few more minutes or until the liquid has been absorbed.
Turn the heat off, without removing the lid, let it sit off the heat for 15 minutes. I like to place a paper towel under the lid to help catch the moisture. Allow it to sit covered.
Fluff with fork and serve.
