1. If you haven't already, cook your quinoa in vegetable broth. (It has more flavor than cooking it in water).
2. Combine the rice wine vinegar, orange marmalade, sesame oil, minced ginger, and salt in a small bowl. Whisk to create dressing, and set aside.
3. Chop the scallion and thinly slice the red pepper. Place both in a large bowl along with the cooked quinoa, sugar snap peas, shredded cabbage, and shredded carrots. Stir to mix thoroughly.
4. Pour the dressing into the bowl and mix all ingredients.
5. Serve warm (garnished with cilantro and toasted sesame seeds) or refrigerate and serve chilled. If serving chilled, add the cilantro and toasted sesame seed garnish prior to serving.
