*Use precooked frozen quinoa or cook from scratch by rinsing 1 cup quinoa in a fine sieve until water runs clear, drain and transfer to a small pot.
Add 2 cups water and bring to a boil. Cover, reduce heat to medium low and simmer until water is absorbed, 15 to 20 minutes.
Set aside off the heat for 5 minutes; uncover and fluff with a fork.
