  • 2 cups (500 mL) snap peas
  • 2 cups (500 mL) red bell pepper, sliced
  • 2 cups (500 mL) broccoli florets
  • 2 cups (500 mL) cooked chickpeas see tips
  • 1/3 cup 75 mL low sodium soy sauce see tips for gluten free
  • 1/4 cup (60 mL) brown sugar
  • 1 Tbsp (15 mL) rice vinegar
  • 1 Tbsp (15 mL) honey
  • 1 tsp (5 mL) fresh ginger minced
  • 1 tsp (5 mL) garlic minced

  • 2 Tbsp (30 mL) water
  • 2 cups (500 mL) cooked rice

Garnish

  • 2 green onions sliced
  • 1 Tbsp (15 mL) sesame seeds

Directions

  • Heat sesame oil and 1 Tbsp (15 mL) water in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add snap peas, red pepper and broccoli. Cook for 3 minutes, until veggies are tender crisp. Transfer to a bowl and set aside.
  • In the same pan, add chickpeas and cook for 3-5 minutes, until chickpeas start browning. Add soy sauce, brown sugar, rice vinegar, honey, ginger and garlic. Stir until sauce is smooth and chickpeas are well coated.
  • In a small bowl, whisk together cornstarch and 2 Tbsp (30 mL) water to create a slurry. Add to the pan and cook, stirring often, until sauce thickens. Add veggies back to the pan and stir to coat.
  • Divide rice between four bowls and top with teriyaki chickpeas and veggies. Sprinkle with sesame seeds and green onion, if desired.

tips

  • A 19 oz (540 mL) can of chickpeas, drained & rinsed will yield 2 cups (500 mL) cooked. Or see here for info on cooking chickpeas from dry!
  • Feel free to substitute the veggies for whatever you have on hand!
  • To make this recipe gluten free, look for gluten free soy sauce or use tamari instead.
