Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Asian-Inspired Quinoa.
Step 1
To start your delicious quinoa dish, grab a medium saucepan and warm up some olive oil over medium heat.
Step 2
Once the oil is shimmering, toss in the quinoa and give it a gentle toast for about 2 to 3 minutes, stirring occasionally to ensure it doesn’t stick.

This step adds a lovely nutty flavor that will elevate your dish.

Stir everything together until well combined, letting those wonderful aromas fill your kitchen.

This is the perfect time to relax and maybe even set the table, as the quinoa absorbs all that flavorful liquid.

When the time is up, take the saucepan off the heat and fluff the quinoa with a fork to make it light and airy.
