4 servings
For the stir-fry
- 2 cans (15 oz each) chickpeas, drained and rinsed
- 3 tbsp neutral oil (such as avocado oil or canola oil), divided
Chef's tipAvocado oil is neutral and handles high heat, making it a good all-purpose swap. - 1 red bell pepper, thinly sliced
- 2 cups snap peas, trimmed
- 5 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tbsp fresh ginger, peeled and grated
For the sauce
- 3 tbsp tamari
- 1 tbsp rice vinegar
- 1 tbsp toasted sesame oil
- 1 tbsp honey
- 1 tsp cornstarch
Chef's tipFor thickening, use about 1 1/3 times as much tapioca starch, stirred into a spoonful of cold water first; take the pan off the heat soon after it thickens. - ¼ tsp red pepper flakes
For serving
- 2 tbsp sesame seeds (optional)
- 3 scallions, thinly sliced (optional)
Instructions
- 1
Pat the drained chickpeas thoroughly dry with paper towels — the drier they are, the better they will crisp in the pan.
- 2
In a small bowl, whisk together the tamari, rice vinegar, toasted sesame oil, honey, cornstarch, and red pepper flakes until the cornstarch is fully dissolved. Set aside.
