How To Cook Quinoa on Stove Recipe

Learn how to make quinoa on the stovetop to make perfectly cooked and fluffy quinoa every time. I made sure to cover proper cooking times for each type of quinoa (white, red, black, and tricolor quinoa).
1 Place raw quinoa in a fine-mesh strainer and rinse under cold water. Drain.
2 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.
3 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.
4 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.
5 Turn the heat off and let it rest for 10 minutes (covered). Fluff it with a fork and serve.
