When you prepare quinoa in a rice cooker, it will be ready to serve in a matter of minutes.
Instructions
1. Rinse the dry quinoa in water until the liquid runs clear.
2. Add two cups of water and one cup of quinoa to the rice cooker. Double the measurements to make more servings; the ratio is always two parts water to one part quinoa.
3. Add any desired seasonings, such as salt, pepper, cinnamon or dried herbs, to the water and quinoa and stir it in well.
4. Put the lid on the rice cooker and turn the appliance on. Cook the quinoa for 15 to 20 minutes, or until it is soft and fluffy.
