Maybe some starting hints, but you are likely to need to experiment a bit.
I looked in USDA database. Apparently a US serving size is 1/4 cup (uncooked)
and weighs 43 - 48 g, based on food labels of different brands; I'll use 45,
which would mean 180 g/cup. Some recipes recommend 1.75 cups of water, others
2 cups of water per cup of quinoa. Taking a cup as 240 g of water, 420 to 480 g
of water to cook it.
This gives a quinoa:water mass ratio of 1:2.333 to 1:2.667. I would start at
1:2.5 and adjust according to results and your personal preference. Also when
cooking small amounts (1-2 servings) you may need extra water as a little steam
always escapes.
Actually, the mass ratio of quinoa to water is 3:4, just multiply the
volumetric ratio of your recipe by 4/3

I'm going to try inventing a recipe which goes like this:
Put the pot on the gram scale.
Open a can of salmon partway and drain it into the pot.
Maybe add some water.
Multiply the combined mass of can liquid and water by something and measure
that amount of quinoa on the decigram scale.
So I search the web for the quinoa/water ratio. All the sites I've found
assume I'm measuring them with a cup. Even if I ask for grams, they still give
me a ratio of cups, and say how many grams of protein are in a cup of quinoa.
Do any of you have tips?
