Rinse the quinoa thoroughly under cold water using a fine-mesh strainer (this removes bitter saponins that can cause digestive issues). In a small pot, bring the water to a boil. Add the rinsed quinoa, a little bit of vegetable broth powder for extra flavour, and if desired you can also add about 1/2 tbsp of olive oil (but thats totally optional ;). Stir once, reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15-18 minutes until all water is absorbed and quinoa is fluffy. Remove from heat and let it sit covered for 5 minutes, then fluff with a fork. Set aside.
