How to Cook Coconut Quinoa Step by Step
Rinse the Quinoa: Place the quinoa in a fine mesh strainer and rinse it thoroughly under cold water for a minute. This will help remove the natural bitterness.
Add Coconut Milk: Pour the coconut milk and the quinoa into a saucepan and bring the mixture to a gentle boil on medium-high heat.
Simmer: Once it starts to boil, reduce the heat to low-medium, cover the saucepan, and let the quinoa simmer for about 18-20 minutes, or until the liquid is fully absorbed and the quinoa is tender. Do not open the lid while cooking.
Fluff and Rest: Turn off the heat and fluff with a fork once the quinoa is cooked. Cover and let it sit for 8-10 minutes. Then, fluff it with a fork to separate the grains.

What is your opinion!

[@GreenOnionsTomatoes]

Thank you! Your ideas sound great. The next things to try on my list for this recipe are;
Variation 1: Add 1/2 teaspoon of turmeric to add some color and a pinch of salt.
Variation 2: Use one stalk of lemongrass. Add only the bottom part crushed during the cook and remove it when it's done.
Variation 3:. The classic 1 teaspoon of ginger and 2 cloves of garlic.
Variation 4: One-pot dish with pan-frying shallots, garlic, red pepper, and chicken.
There are so many variations, and I can't wait to try them all 😊 I hope this helps 😊
