Quinoa Cooked in Coconut Milk
This cooked Quinoa was the best cook Quinoa I had tasted.
Rich & Sweet taste of coconut milk makes the quinoa perfectly soft and enjoyable just by itself. I ate all that bowl just with a drizzle of honey and shredded coconut. Totally Yum!
Do try it out 😊
Here is the Recipe 👇
Ingredients
1 part uncooked quinoa (e.g. 1 cup quinoa—any color will do—you will end up with three times as much cooked quinoa)
2 parts coconut milk +e.g. 2 cups water)
Method :
1.Rinse the quinoa: Pour the quinoa into a bowl and rinse and wash for at least 30 seconds. Drain well. This step removes bitterness of the quinoa caused by naturally occurring saponins.
2.Combine the rinsed quinoa and coconut milk in a saucepan. Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat, then decrease the heat a bit to maintain a simmer. Cook until the quinoa has absorbed all of the water, about 10 to 20 minutes
Reduce heat.
3.Remove the pot from heat, cover, and let the quinoa steam for 5 minutes. This step gives the quinoa time to pop open into little curlicues, so it’s nice and fluffy. Serve and enjoy!
You can serve this quinoa with any Asian vegetable or chicken stir fry or curries.
Or simply enjoy with drizzle of honey and some coconut.
