Rinse quinoa in a bowl with water or place quinoa in a sieve and rinse under cold water until water runs clear. Transfer to a small saucepan and add ½ cup water. Bring to a boil and simmer until water is absorbed about 15 minutes. Turn off the heat and allow to sit covered for 10 minutes.
Transfer quinoa to a serving bowl and allow to cool. Fluff with a fork periodically.
