23 tablespoons soy sauce

1 teaspoon sesame oil

Prep Ingredients
Cut broccoli into bite-sized florets. Drain and rinse chickpeas thoroughly. Mince garlic and keep all ingredients ready near the stove.

Heat Oil
Heat vegetable oil in a large wok or skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering.

Cook Garlic
Add minced garlic and stir-fry for about 30 seconds until fragrant. Do not let it burn.

Add Broccoli
Toss in broccoli florets and stir-fry for 3–4 minutes until bright green and tender-crisp.

Add Chickpeas
Add chickpeas and continue stir-frying for 2–3 minutes until heated through and lightly golden.

Season
Pour soy sauce and sesame oil over the mixture. Toss well to coat evenly and cook for 1 more minute.

Serve

Add red pepper flakes or sriracha for heat.

Substitute tamari or coconut aminos for a gluten-free option.

For extra crunch, toss in sliced bell peppers or snap peas.
