Chickpeas with a blast of Kung Pao flavor!

Ingredients

  • 2 cups 2 garbanzo beans, cooked

  • 2 cups 2 rice, cooked

  • 1 tbsp 1 garlic

  • 1 tbsp 1 ginger

  • 1/3 cup 1/3 peanuts

  • 2 – 3 2 – 3 Dried Chinese Red Chiles or fresno chilies (see notes below)

  • 3 tbsp 3 Coconut Oil

  • scallions

  • For Sauce
  • 2 tbsp 2 maple syrup

  • 1 tbsp 1 rice wine vinegar

  • 1 tbsp 1 hoisin sauce

  • 1 tbsp 1 balsamic vinegar

  • 1 tbsp 1 sriracha sauce

  • 1 tbsp 1 soy sauce

  • 2 tbsp 2 coconut aminos

  • 1/2 tbsp 1/2 sesame oil

  • 1/4 cup 1/4 water

  • 1 tbsp 1 tapioca flour

Preparation

  • Cook rice and garbanzo beans according to package directions.
  • In a small bowl, whisk all sauce ingredients. Set aside.
  • Add oil to skillet and saute garlic over medium heat until fragrant about one minute. Then add ginger, peanuts, chiles, and scallions. Let saute for an additional minute.
  • Add sauce ingredients and whisk until thick. About 2 minutes or so. Keep an eye on it and don’t let it burn.
  • Add chickpeas and toss in sauce.
  • Serve over rice. See notes below for pour-over sauce.

Notes

  • Spiciness note: 🌶️ – mild, 🌶️🌶️ – medium, 🌶️🌶️🌶️ – hot // **Please remove the seeds and use your own discretion **
  • Because I like it saucy, I doubled the sauce recipe and set half aside until the chickpeas were tossed in the remaining sauce. I then poured over the other half of the sauce, as desired.
