I did it in a pan of simmerring water as per the instructions on my pack. I found it really bland so I also added some tomato sauce to it.

I mix it with sushi rice. I add one part rice/quinoa mix to two parts water, bring to a boil, and then simmer until all the water is absorbed. Plain quinoa is cooked the same way.

Just curious whether it can be made in a rice steamer. I presume yes. Any ideas/experience. What's the water/quinoa ratio?
Thanks, Kate.

Yep--just throw in one cup quinoa to two cups water (or veggie or chicken broth), and turn it on. I always use my rice cooker for quinoa and it comes out perfectly.

Cool. Thanks for the water/quinoa ratio and rice steamer tip. This is just too easy! NO EXCUSES, now.
I saw a neat pilaf idea with quinoa and shitake mushrooms. Hide something else in for colour and WOW!
