737 - How do we cook grains like rice and quinoa?

To cook grains like rice and quinoa, you'll need a few simple things:

1. A pot with a lid (like the one you use for boiling water)
2. Water (the right amount is important)
3. Your grain (rice or quinoa)

Here's how to do it:

For Rice: - Use 2 cups of water for 1 cup of rice. - Put the rice and water in the pot, and put the lid on. - Heat it on the stove until the water boils. - Turn the heat down low (so it's not boiling anymore), and let it cook for around 15-20 minutes, or until the water is gone.

For Quinoa: - Use 2 cups of water for 1 cup of quinoa. - Put the quinoa and water in the pot, and put the lid on. - Heat it on the stove until the water boils. - Turn the heat down low (so it's not boiling anymore), and let it cook for around 15-20 minutes, or until the water is gone and the quinoa has little white swirls on it.

Remember to ask a grown-up for help with the stove, and never touch the hot pot or water.
