I try to eat legumes at least 3 times a week and chickpeas are my favorite one. Although I could live on hummus or falafel, I’m always trying new recipes and one day I tried to use them instead of the rice or noodles I usually used to make my stir-fry recipes and this amazing dish came to life!

I use different veggies every time I make it, depending on the season, what I’ve got on hand or what I’m craving (love my vegan food so much!). As I always say, don’t be afraid to change our recipes, especially the savory ones, they work most of the times. ?

Tips:

Feel free to use rice, pasta or any other cereal or legume instead the chickpeas.

You can also use other sauces like tamari or soy sauce, sweet and sour sauce, or any other you’ve got on hand.
