Instructions
- 1
Combine the rinsed quinoa, chicken broth, and 1/4 tsp salt in a medium saucepan and bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Reduce the heat to low, cover, and cook until the quinoa has absorbed all the liquid and the germ rings are visible, about 15 minutes. Remove from heat and let stand, covered, for 5 minutes, then fluff with a fork.

While the quinoa cooks, whisk together the white miso paste, grated ginger, soy sauce, honey, sesame oil, and water in a small saucepan over low heat until the miso is fully dissolved and the glaze is smooth, about 2 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside. Reserve 2 tablespoons of the glaze in a separate small bowl for serving.
