Combine the rinsed quinoa and vegetable broth in a medium saucepan over medium-high heat. Bring to a boil, then 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 sit, covered, for 5 minutes, then fluff with a fork.
