Rinse 1 cup of uncooked quinoa under cool running water for a couple of minutes. In a medium saucepan, combine rinsed quinoa with 2 cups of water. Bring to a boil, then reduce to low, cover, and simmer for about 15 minutes until fluffy.

Remove the quinoa from heat and let it cool slightly for about 5 minutes. In a separate bowl, mix together 2 tablespoons of miso paste and 2 tablespoons of tamari. Stir this mixture into the warm quinoa.

Grate 1 teaspoon of fresh ginger and gradually add to the quinoa mixture, mixing thoroughly.

Add 1 tablespoon of coconut oil to the quinoa and stir until it melts and blends in.

Taste and adjust seasoning if needed. Serve warm as a side dish or base for protein or veggies.
