The trick to get perfectly boiled couscous is the water to couscous ratio. It should always be 1:1.5 so if you are adding 1 cup of couscous, add 1.5 cups of water. Boil the water, add coucous to it. Let it boil on medium flame till the water evaporates. It should look like this. It wont be sticky or gooey at the end rather every grain should easily seperate..
-
In a bowl, add chopped red onion, bellpepper, salad/coriander leaves, soy chunks, nuts, potatoes. Give it a good shake with a spoon. And thats it..
If you are a vegan or vegetarian or just like to experiement with food, I would highly recommend trying soy chunks.
