Ingredients
  

  • 100 g Uncooked Quinoa (use enough for one layer in the frying pan)

Instructions
 

  • Heat a wide frying pan over medium-high heat until extremely hot. Test the temperature by adding a drop of water. It should sizzle immediately.
  • No need to add oil or butter(this will make it soggy and stick together). Pour in the quinoa, making sure it stays in a single layer. Shaking the pot regularly, let the quinoa pop for 1-2 minutes.
  • You will know when it is done as it will smell slightly nutty and the popping has slowed down (similar to popcorn).
  • Transfer to a bowl, and add seasoning.
