Terrible recipe.
I think the missing step is that the water should be boiling when added at the start.

Ended up with far too much water after 25 minutes and now I’ve got 2 cups of inedible quinoa.

I make ALOT of Quinoa and my main advice here is to keep the lid ON during the simmer process after the quinoa is added to the boing water. Once you put the lid on, turn the heat way down to low (I cook with gas) and I shift my pot off to the side of the burner so only a portion of it is on the heat. After 25 min, my quinoa is perfect every time! I’d love to know how I can make larger batches on the stove. I think it will be trial and error for timing it right!

i think a great concept. But i had 2.5 cups quinoa and 5 cups of water and it is now 35 minutes in the oven and does not look like it will be done anytime soon. I might have done something wrong…but I will try again to make sure.

Vegetarians are always looking for good sources of protein, so having this on hand all the time is a great idea. God created us as vegetarians and gave us all the wholesome foods we need to be healthy. Quinoa is a staple in my kitchen.

I will often just have it in a bowl with a little soy sauce and Asian orange ginger sauce. Delicious for a snack and so nutritious. Add a few steamed veggies and you have a complete meal.

In reply to Ekta. You can, though they may make the quinoa more liquid-y when you defrost and warm it back up, and the fruits/veggies won't keep their texture. I would only do this with cooked vegetables, not raw, though.

Didn’t work. Way too much liquid.

This didn’t work in the slightest. After 25 minutes and 10 minute rest, it looked exactly the same as when I put it in. Had to bake it for about 50 minutes to get anywhere close to an edible quinoa.

In reply to jennifer Roe. I think if you rinse it under cold water at the end of the cooking time, it won't be as sticky!

So…. I want to make a cold salad with quinoa. I don’t want to to be sticky. Safe to sssume to add less water to this “recipe”?
