Step 1

Spray the rice cooker insert lightly with oil (optional but I find it helps keep the quinoa nice and fluffy all the way through).

Step 2

Rinse quinoa under the tap for 20 seconds in a fine mesh sieve. Shake off excess water and add to the pot.

Step 3

Add a pinch of salt, then 2 cups of water.

Step 4

Cook rice using the 'white rice' function (if your rice cooker has that option; otherwise just press cook).
