Ingredients
Instructions
-
Cook the Brown Rice
Add 1 cup of uncooked brown rice and 2 cups of water.
Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat.
Once boiling, reduce the heat to low, cover with a lid and simmer for about 25 minutes or until the rice is tender and the water is absorbed. When cooked, remove from heat, fluff the rice with a fork and set aside.
Tip: For extra flavor, add a pinch of salt or a few drops of olive oil to the rice while it cooks.
-
Prepare the Stir-Fry Base
While the rice is cooking, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat.
Once the oil is hot, add 2 cloves of minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant (being careful not to let it burn).

Add Vegetables
Add 2 cups of mixed vegetables (broccoli, carrots and snap peas) to the skillet.
Stir frequently and cook for 5-7 minutes or until the vegetables are tender-crisp.
If you prefer softer vegetables, cook for 2-3 minutes.
Tip: Cut vegetables to a similar size for even cooking and add a splash of water if the vegetables begin to stick to the pan.
-
Incorporate Chickpeas and Seasoning
Add the drained and rinsed can of chickpeas to the skillet, stirring to combine with the vegetables.
Pour in 3 tablespoons of soy sauce and if desired, add 1/2 teaspoon of red pepper flakes for a slight kick.
Stir and cook for 3-4 minutes until the chickpeas are warmed and evenly coated in sauce.
Tip: Adjust the soy sauce and red pepper flakes to taste, as chickpeas absorb flavors quickly.
-
Combine and Serve
Once the chickpea and vegetable stir-fry is fully cooked, divide the brown rice among serving plates and spoon the chickpea mixture over the top.
Serve immediately.
Tip: Garnish with freshly chopped herbs like cilantro or green onions for a fresh finish.
