- Diet: Vegan
Ingredients
Scale
1 tbsp avocado oil or olive oil
1 1/2 tbsp toasted sesame-oil
1 cup dry chickpeas** (see notes)
2 tsp apple cider vinegar
1/3 cup Coconut aminos (tamari or soy-sauce work as well, just a bit saltier taste)
3 tbsp maple-syrup
4 tbsp vegetable-broth or water
3 cloves garlic
1 tsp grated ginger
1 tbsp arrowroot or tapioca starch/flour
1/2 tsp smoked cayenne, optional
2 Tbsp toasted sesame seeds, for garnish
Instructions
- First, you’ll need to soak your chickpeas overnight, then boil them for 30-45 minutes. You can add some kombu to the boiling water to help make them more digestible. Drain and rinse chickpeas and put aside.
- In a fry pan on med-high, heat the olive or avocado oil and add the minced garlic and grated ginger. Sauté for a couple until the garlic is extremely fragrant (2-3 mins).
- While the garlic is cooking, mix the arrowroot/tapioca starch with 2 tablespoons of veggie broth/water in a small bowl. Mix until smooth – no clumps – then set aside.
- To the pan with garlic, add the coconut aminos (tamari or soy-sauce for a bit saltier taste), toasted sesame-oil, maple syrup, ACV, and the extra 2 Tbsp of veggie broth. Whisk together.
- Add in the arrowroot mixture and stir. When bubbles begin to form, add the chickpeas & stir till they are nicely coated.
- Cook on low-heat till the sauce becomes thick and sticky, for about 5 minutes. Stir occasionally.
- Remove from the heat and let sit to allow the chickpeas to absorb all the flavours.
Serve and enjoy with steamed rice, quinoa or broccoli.
