Vegetarian meals that are 'complete proteins'

Does anyone know of any quick/easy to make vegetarian dishes that are high in protein (or that combined, make up a 'complete protein')?

Thank you!

Forgot to add- I'd ideally like ideas for evening meals and they would need to be suitable for my toddler, so relatively simple & not too spicy

@StrugglingOn13 thanks so much for this- I like that the article details amounts of protein per cup- will help me get an idea of how much I need before (hopefully!) it becomes second nature..

Doing a big shop tomorrow so will be adding your suggestions to the list! Smile

Eggs, cheese, milk, quinoa, tofu and soya are all complete proteins.
I don’t usually make lentil shepherds pie because lentils need a whole grain to be a complete protein; the potato mash isn’t enough.

I am vegetarian, but we don't eat much soy or quorn.

I like:
Potato with soured cream/fromage frais
Hummus and pita
Black beans and rice
Soba noodles with edamame and peanut dressing (delish!)

When everything fails: porridge cooked with whole milk. Add some nuts. Oats have a surprising amount of protein.
