How to cook quinoa perfectly?

Quinoa has only now become a popular food. It was not really used in food because most people do not know how to cook it exactly, and to make it very fine.

The first step is toasting. Quinoa will become finer by toasting, just like other nuts. Put the amount of quinoa you want on a dry pan and bake for up to 7 minutes. Don’t forget to stir the quinoa so it doesn’t burn. You will know that it is done when it takes on a fine scent and when it becomes golden in color.

Once you’ve toasted it, it’s time for water. It is important to rinse the quinoa because it has a natural layer of saponin that leaves a bitter taste in the mouth. Many skip this step. Which in turn leads to the throwing away of this high-quality food.

The third step is cooking. Act like you’re cooking pasta. Add water in a ratio of 3: 1 water and quinoa. Put the quinoa in rainy salted water and let it cook for about 12 minutes. You will know that it is cooked when white bread is created around the grain. Be sure to try the quinoa before squeezing. Once you have strained it, let it rest for about 10 minutes to drain all the water it has picked up during cooking.
