For an extra layer of flavor, try toasting the quinoa lightly in the saucepan before adding the water. This will bring out its nutty notes. If you prefer a sweeter pudding, adjust the amount of sugar to your liking. The pudding can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Consider adding a pinch of ground ginger or cardamom for a warming spice element.
