1. Measure out one cup of quinoa and 2 cups of water. The size of
cup doesn't matter as long as the proportions are 2 to 1.
|
|
|
2. Rinse the quinoa under cold water for half a minute to remove
any impurities.

3. Put the water and the quinoa into a microwaveable dish and
cover. Put this in your microwave and cook on full power for 3
minutes. Take out of the oven and let it stand for 1 minute. Stir the
mixture and then place it back into the microwave for a further 3
minutes on full. The quinoa needs to stand on the kitchen counter
for 2 or 3 minutes to finish cooking.
Note- Using this method the water doesn't always fully absorb into
the quinoa and you will have to drain it before serving.

4. Your quinoa is now ready to serve. The only difference I have
observed in cooking quinoa in a microwave as opposed to cooking
it the standard way is that is expands very slightly more and is a bit
softer to the touch. The superb taste of quinoa is still there and it is
easily used in all your best recipes.
