   Rinse the Quinoa

   Rinse the quinoa under cold running water for a minute or two. This washes away saponin, which can leave a bitter taste in the finished dish.

   Cook the Quinoa

   Transfer the rinsed quinoa to a pot or rice cooker. Add 2 cups of water and 1/2 teaspoon of salt. Cover the pot, bring it to a boil, then lower the heat and cook for 15 minutes, or until all the water has been absorbed and the quinoa is fluffy.
