I don't know what you would call this, but it's really nice:

Toast some Pumpkin and sunflower seeds until they are starting to pop, and turn slightly brown, then put them on the side. This will only take a few minutes. (Keep an eye on them as they burn easily!)

Cook some quinoa. I use 4 parts water to one part quinoa, and usually use veggie stock instead of water to add flavour. This will take about 20 minutes.

Stir-fry some veg. I like halved Brussels Sprouts, and cauliflower cut into tiny florets, with some slices of onion. Brown all these slightly, then add ground black pepper (or any spices you like) some mashed garlic, then a dash of water. Put soy sauce on this while it's steaming. It should only take about 5 minutes to steam with the pan lid on.
Add a few baby spinach leaves and stir for the last couple of minutes.
If you like the veg more dry, just steam, but if you want some gravy with it, add a little more water, which can be thickened with a small amount of instant gravy mix or cornflour just before serving.

Serve the stir fry on a bed of quinoa, and sprinkle the toasted seeds on top! Voila!
