I discovered the secret to making the fluffiest quinoa ever when I started making quinoa before shabbat, realized I didn't have time, and then let the quinoa sit, soaking in water in the fridge, for about 36 hours.
2 cups quinoa
2 cups boiling water
More water
Salt and pepper
Directions:
1. Rinse and pick through quinoa.
2. Combine 2 cups quinoa with 2 cups boiling water in a small pot.
3. Cover pot.
4. When cool, place pot in the fridge to soak for as many hours as you have time for. I did 36 hours (because I forgot about it) but probably 5-6 hours or overnight would be good too.
5. Add water to quinoa to cover completely (the original 2 cups will have been long soaked up) and add about 2 teaspoons of salt and 3/4 teaspoon of pepper. Put on stove and bring to a boil.
6. Cover and turn heat down to low and cook for 15 minutes.
7. Uncover and fluff quinoa with a fork. Quinoa should be soft and fluffy.
