I could have this stir-fry daily and never get tired of it.

This sesame chickpeas and broccoli stir-fry is a delightful dish that brings a touch of Asian-inspired flavors to your dinner table. It’s a perfect blend of savory and sweet, with a sticky, glazed texture that will have everyone asking for seconds. This recipe is a great way to introduce more plant-based meals into your family’s diet, and it’s quick enough for a busy weeknight. Chickpeas provide a hearty source of protein, while broccoli adds a fresh, crunchy element. Plus, it’s a wonderful opportunity to get the kids involved in the kitchen, letting them help with measuring and mixing the sauce.
This stir-fry pairs beautifully with a bowl of steamed jasmine or brown rice, which soaks up the delicious sauce. You might also consider serving it alongside a simple cucumber salad or some fresh spring rolls to add a refreshing contrast. For a heartier meal, a side of miso soup would complement the flavors nicely.
