Thinly slice the spring onions.
Rinse the quinoa in a bowl under cold water, rubbing the grains and letting them settle before pouring off the water. If the quinoa does not settle, drain it in a large fine sieve after each rinse.
Cook the quinoa in a large saucepan of boiling salted water for 10 minutes. Drain in a sieve and rinse under cold water.
Set the sieve with the quinoa over a saucepan filled with 4cm of boiling water, ensuring the sieve does not touch the water. Cover with a kitchen towel and a lid, and steam until the quinoa is fluffy and dry, 10 to 12 minutes. Check the water level occasionally, adding water if necessary.
In a large bowl, toss the quinoa with the oil and salt and pepper to taste. Let cool, then toss with the spring onions and thyme.
