Ingredients
FOR THE CHICKPEAS AND VEGETABLES:
1 can chickpeas — (15 ounces)
1 tablespoon canola oil — or grapeseed oil, or other neutral cooking oil good for high heat
1 large crown broccoli — cut into florets
2 small red bell peppers — cored and sliced
2 cloves minced garlic
2 green onions — thinly sliced, white and green parts divided
Toasted sesame seeds — optional for serving
FOR THE GENERAL TSO'S SAUCE:
1 1/2 cups water
1/2 cup low sodium soy sauce
1/4 cup hoisin sauce
3 tablespoons apricot jam
2 tablespoons rice vinegar
2 tablespoons cornstarch
1 tablespoon grated fresh ginger
1-2 tablespoons chili garlic sauce
Instructions
If serving the stir fry with rice, quinoa, or other grain, prepare as needed. Drain and rinse the chickpeas, then spread on a paper or dishtowel and lightly pat dry. Set aside.
In a medium bowl, whisk all of the sauce ingredients together: water, soy sauce, hoisin, jam, rice vinegar, ginger, cornstarch, and 1 tablespoon chili garlic sauce. Taste and add additional garlic chili sauce if you prefer more heat.
Heat oil in a large, non-stick skillet or wok over medium high. Add the broccoli and bell peppers. Cook 2 minutes, then stir in the garlic, white parts of the green onions, and chickpeas. Cook for 3 additional minutes, until the vegetables are crisp tender, then pour in the sauce. Bring to a simmer and cook until the sauce thickens, about 2 additional minutes. Sprinkle with the green portion of the green onions and sesame seeds. Serve hot with prepared rice or quinoa.
