How to make Quinoa in Instant Pot or Electric Pressure Cooker?

Quinoa cooks the fastest in Instant Pot or any other Electric Pressure Cooker like Mealthy. It is the easiest thing to cook in the Electric Pressure Cooker.

This is what I do and has always worked well with me.

ALWAYS WASH QUINOA in a strainer before using it.
I always take equal parts of Quinoa and Liquid. For 1 cup Quinoa, I take 1 cup water. You may choose Vegan Broth or Plant Based Milk to cook it.
Cook Quinoa for 2 minutes exactly in Instant Pot. Follow NPR (natural pressure release).
Either you are making it savory or sweet, the time and proportions remain the same.
Unless you are making a Porridge, you add more liquid for the right consistency.

It is a VEGAN QUINOA RECIPE. Plant Based Milk makes it much lighter on digestion.

I have made it SUGAR FREE QUINOA PORRIDGE RECIPE. You can later sweeten it with sweetener of your choice. I used Organic Maple Syrup.

Yield: 6

Learn how to make Easy & Quick Vegan Instant Pot Quinoa Porridge for easy breakfast or Dessert. Just 2 ingredients and done. Top with nuts & fruits of your choice and sweeten with Maple Syrup. It is the best thing.

Cook Time: 2 minutes

Total Time: 2 minutes

Ingredients

1 Cup Quinoa
3 Cups Almond Milk, unsweetened
Toppings & Garnishes
1/4 cup Maple Syrup, original
1 Tbsp Walnuts chopped, plain
1/2 Tbsp Pistachio chopped, plain
1 Tbsp Rasins
2 Tbsp Almonds chopped, plain
1/2 Cup Fresh Berries of Choice

Instructions

Place the inner pot inside the Instant Pot. Plug it in.
Wash the quinoa under running cold water till water runs clear. Set aside.
Place the washed quinoa and 3 cups of Almond Milk inside the Inner Pot. If you want slightly more liquid consistency, then add 5 cups of almond milk. You can also add more milk later once it is cooked to adjust the consistency to your liking.
Place the Lid and lock it to SEALING. Select the Pressure Cook/Manual Mode and set it on HIGH for 2 MINUTES.
Once the timer goes off, follow NPR. Once the safety valve drops down, open the lid carefully. You will get the porridge of THICK CONSISTENCY.
I liked this consistency. If you like little more runny porridge, then add more almond milk to it. Just warm the almond milk and add and stir. Use as required.
Top your Quinoa Porridge with Maple Syrup, Fresh Berries and Dry Nuts. Enjoy a hearty Breakfast. It is a perfect example of Dessert for Breakfast too.

You may choose to use any other plant based milk to make this Porridge. I prefer Almond Milk since it has no after taste or strong smell.
If you are not vegan or Lactose intolerant. then you may use regular Cow Milk as well.
You may use any kind of dry nuts to top this porridge.
Even any kind of fruits can be used in this porridge like banana, peaches, strawberries, mango etc.
You may make it Sugar Free and sweeten it with Splenda or zero sugar sweetener.
You may also use any other kind of sweetener if you do not like Maple syrup, like Honey, Agave, coconut syrup etc.
