INGREDIENT NOTES

Peanut butter: I use creamy peanut butter to make Asian peanut stir fry sauce. However, it’s also fine to use crunchy peanut butter. Try using a peanut butter with no added sugar and salt.

Chickpeas. I like to use dried and boiled chickpeas, but use whatever you have on hand and convenient for you. USe tinned chickpeas instead.

HOW TO MAKE

Step 1: Heat oil in a wok. Add broccoli florets and chickpeas and saute on a medium flame for around 10-12 minutes. Add garlic and saute for another 3 minutes.

Step 2: In a bowl, mix peanut butter, soy sauce, chili oil and agave syrup. Mix everything.

Step 3: Add the sauce over the broccoli and chickpeas mixture.Mix everything and cook until the peanut butter melts and the sauce starts simmering. Add sesame seed and scallions and enjoy!
