So, how much water should you actually use when cooking quinoa? The general rule of thumb is to use about 2 cups of water for every 1 cup of quinoa. But, let's be real, that can vary depending on the type of quinoa you're using, as well as your personal preference for texture and consistency.
For example, if you're using white quinoa, you might want to use a bit less water, since it tends to be softer and more prone to sogginess. On the other hand, if you're using red or black quinoa, you might want to use a bit more water, since it's generally nuttier and chewier. Make sense, right?
