The general rule of thumb is to use a 2:1 ratio of water to quinoa, but it can vary depending on the type of quinoa you're using. For example, white quinoa typically requires a 1.75:1 ratio, while tricolor quinoa needs a 2.25:1 ratio - yeah, it's a thing! Don't worry, I'll break it down for you.
Now, you might be wondering, why does the ratio matter? Well, using too little water can result in undercooked quinoa, while using too much can make it mushy - and who likes mushy quinoa, right? It's all about finding that sweet spot.
