Preheat

Cook the rice

Roast Chickpeas

Place the chickpeas onto a large, rimmed baking sheet in a single layer. Roast for 25 minutes.

Make the Sauce

In a medium bowl, whisk the cornstarch, and water. Add the tamari, rice vinegar, maple syrup, sesame oil, sriracha, lime juice, garlic, and ginger. Adjust the maple syrup, and lime juice to taste. Set aside.

For the veggies

, heat the oil in a large sauté pan over medium-high heat. Add the onion, garlic, broccoli, and bell pepper. Cook for about 5 minutes, or until the onion is translucent.

Cook

Add the cooked rice to the veggies and stir to combine. Cook for about 5 minutes, or until the rice starts to turn golden brown, stirring occasionally and flattening out the rice so it cooks evenly. Add the tamari, rice vinegar, and toasted sesame oil. Mix to incorporate. Set aside.

Heat Sauce

In a medium skillet over medium-high heat, cook the sauce for about 3 minutes, or until it starts to thicken. Stir in the roasted chickpeas and mix to combine. Cook for about 1 minute more, or until the chickpeas are coated with the sauce and warmed through.

Combine

Transfer the chickpeas and sauce to the sauté pan with the rice and veggies. Cook over medium-high heat for about 2 minutes, or until warmed through.

Roasting chickpeas is brilliant and this meal comes together super fast. A hit with our whole family.  Love Nisha’s sauce as usual and always try to make a little extra to use on another dish.

Loved this chickpea recipe! Great way to get protein into our meal and the sauce was delicious and so versatile.
