What's the best way to prepare quinoa?
— ingrid ortega
Answer:
So, um, my rice cooker, um, has a, uh, an identity crisis because I cook quinoa and beans in my rice cooker. However, stove top works really well make sure that you have the correct ratio of a liquid to quinoa. And again, with the quinoa, you would wanna make certain that it is washed off very well. And you know, the thing about quinoa is that aside from tasting really good and giving that nice nutty flavor to your dishes, it contains all essential nine amino acids. So it is a terrific source of protein. And, uh, you know, for the last almost 15 years, people have all said to me, but where do you get your protein? And, um, yeah, I try not to roll my eyes at that question, but, uh, quinoa is always a perfect answer.
