Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup white quinoa
  • 1 cup water
  • ΒΌ tsp fine sea salt

Method
 

  1. Rinse the quinoa in a fine-mesh strainer under cool water until the water runs mostly clear.
  2. Add the rinsed quinoa, water, and salt to the Instant Pot. Secure the lid, set the vent to sealing, and cook on high pressure for 1 minute.
  3. Let the pressure release naturally for 10 minutes, then quick-release any remaining pressure. Open the lid and fluff the quinoa with a fork before serving.

Notes

The 15-minute cook time includes the time it takes the pot to come to pressure and the natural release, so hands-on effort is under 5 minutes. If your quinoa looks a little wet after opening, simply let it sit uncovered for a couple of minutes; the extra steam will evaporate quickly.
