Cooking Instructions

  • Cook your rice, quinoa or other grain according to package directions. Add all sauce ingredients to a small bowl or jar, and mix until combined and cornstarch is mixed in. Set sauce aside until ready to use.
  • Wash and dry your broccoli and cut it into florets. You can use frozen broccoli as well.
  • Heat a large pan over medium heat and add about 2 teaspoons of olive oil. Add the broccoli and mix until coated with oil, then let cook for 2-3 minutes until starting to brown.
  • Pour the sauce mixture into the pan and stir everything together. Cook until broccoli is softened and sauce is thickening, about 3-4 minutes. Then add in the chickpeas and cook for another 2-3 minutes until sauce is thickened and coats the bottom of the pan.
  • Turn the heat off and serve over rice or your favorite grain, topped with toasted sesame seeds and fresh cilantro or green onion.

Notes

This dish can be made with frozen broccoli for greater convenience.
