how long to boil quinoa

To boil quinoa, you should use a ratio of 2 cups of water for every 1 cup of quinoa. Follow these steps:

1. Rinse the quinoa under cold water in a fine-mesh sieve to remove any bitterness.

2. In a medium saucepan, bring the water to a boil.

3. Add the quinoa and reduce the heat to low.

4. Cover the pot and let the quinoa simmer for about 15-20 minutes until the water has been absorbed and the quinoa is tender.

5. Remove the pot from the heat and let it sit for 5 minutes.

6. Fluff the quinoa with a fork before serving.

Note: the cooking time may vary slightly depending on the type and freshness of the quinoa, so it's best to check for tenderness and adjust the cooking time accordingly.
