About this Recipe
This sticky sesame chickpea recipe is a flavorful plant-based twist on a takeout favorite. Coated in a sweet, savory, and slightly tangy sauce, these chickpeas are perfect for a quick, satisfying meal served over rice or noodles.
Ingredients
Preparation
Step 1
In a bowl, whisk together the minced garlic, grated ginger, soy sauce, sesame oil, plain oil, rice wine, maple syrup, red pepper, and cornstarch. Whisk very well to combine.
Step 2
Add the rinsed and drained chickpeas to a skillet over medium-high heat, and pour in the sauce. Cook until the sauce starts to thicken and bubble around the chickpeas and everything is warmed through, about 4-7 minutes.
Step 3
Scrape the chickpeas into a serving dish, and then cook the broccoli florets in the same pan until tender, about 3-4 minutes (adding water, if needed).
Step 4
Serve over fresh cooked rice with broccoli on the side and sesame seeds on top.
