Ingredients & Substitutions
Canned chickpeas are super convenient, but if you have the time, you can also cook dried chickpeas from scratch. Just make sure to soak them overnight and cook them until tender. For the soy sauce, tamari is a great alternative if you're avoiding gluten. You can also play around with the sweetener; coconut sugar would work beautifully too!
Tips & Notes
- •I like to double the recipe and keep some in the fridge for quick lunches during the week.
- •If you want a bit more kick, try adding some red pepper flakes to the sauce!
Recipe Variations
- •Sometimes I add a splash of pineapple juice for a tropical twist!
- •You can also toss in some steamed broccoli or bell peppers for extra veggies.
Storage & Freezing
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days. Just give them a quick toss in a skillet to reheat, and they’ll taste just as good!
