Steps

40 mins

1

IMPORTANT: Rinse quinoa in water and drain well to eliminate bitterness in the quinoa. If pre-washed quinoa is used, skip this step.
2

Add quinoa, chicken broth, curry powder and chili powder into a pot and stir well. If water is used instead of broth, add a dash of salt and pepper. Bring to a boil.
3

Once it starts to boil, reduce to a simmer and cover pot. Let cook at a low heat for about 20 mins until quinoa has completely soaked up all the liquid.
4

Take the quinoa off the heat and let the steam cook it further for about 10 mins. Cooked quinoa should be translucent and fluffy.
5

OPTIONAL STEP: If you like, heat a tbsp of oil in a pan and stir-fry onions, garlic, bell pepper and meat-of-choice. Add in the cooked quinoa and stir-fry for another 5-7 mins. Great option to fried rice. ;)
