2 cups water
Bring water and salt to a boil in a medium saucepan over medium-high heat.
Add quinoa; cover, reduce heat to low and simmer until quinoa is translucent and tender, about 15 to 17 minutes. Drain off any remaining liquid.
While quinoa cooks, heat oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add carrot, scallions, and ginger. Cook over medium heat, stirring, until carrots are crisp-tender, about 1 minute. Stir in quinoa; cook, stirring, until well mixed.
Remove from heat; stir in orange juice and cilantro and serve. Yields about 3/4 cup of sauce per serving.
