Place raw quinoa in a fine-mesh strainer and rinse under cold water. Drain.
Place rinsed and drained quinoa, water (or chicken broth or veggie broth), and a pinch of salt (optional) into a pot with a tight-fitting lid. Stir it and put the lid on.
Turn the heat to medium-high and bring it to a boil. It should take about 3-4 minutes for it to come to a boil.
As soon as it comes to a boil, turn the heat down to low and let it simmer for 15 minutes or until all of the liquid is absorbed.
Turn the heat off and let it rest for 10 minutes (covered). Fluff it with a fork and serve.
