While the quinoa is cooking, peel and dice the dragon fruit and chop the candied ginger into small pieces. Once the quinoa is ready, strain any excess liquid and stir in the maple syrup, dragon fruit, and candied ginger.

In a separate pan, toast the pistachios until fragrant, then chop them roughly. Plate the quinoa mixture, top with the purple cauliflower florets, and sprinkle with the toasted pistachios.
