Original Recipe Yield 4 servings
 

Ingredients

  • 2 cups water
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons butter
  • 1 tablespoon Chinese five-spice powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 cube beef bouillon
  • 1 cup red quinoa, rinsed and drained

Directions

  1. Place the water, butter, five-spice powder, ginger, black pepper, and beef bouillon cube into a saucepan over medium heat, and bring to a boil. Stir the mixture to dissolve the bouillon cube, then add the quinoa. Reduce heat to a simmer, cover, and cook until all the water is absorbed, about 20 minutes.

Footnotes

  • Cook's Note
  • I used Roland® brand for the red quinoa, and Knorr® for the bouillon cube. I also prefer the quinoa a little underdone. Hope you enjoy this.
