Number of Servings:
Ingredients:
- 1 1/2 cups - chicken broth or water
- 3/4 cups - uncooked quinoa
- 1 tablespoons - rice wine vinegar
- 2 tablespoons - orange marmalade
- 2 teaspoons - dark sesame oil
- 1 tablespoons - fresh minced ginger root
- 1 teaspoons - kosher salt

Directions:
In a small saucepan, combine broth and quinoa; bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce heat to low; cover and simmer for 10 minutes.
