Teriyaki Greens & Beans
I've heard many times that all you need for a great plant-based meal is a grain, a green and a bean. Not only is this catchy, it's also true. And this recipe is a perfect example. I typically use tamari rather than soy sauce but either one works in this recipe. Tamari is thicker, less salty and has a richer flavor. You can find it in the Asian section at the grocery or at on Oriental Market.
Ingredients
Method
- To make sauce, combine tamari, water, maple syrup, ginger, black pepper, garlic and cornstarch. Whisk together until smooth.
- Place broccoli in a large skillet or wok with 2 T water. Cook over medium-high heat for 3 minutes, until cooked but not mushy. Add small amounts of water, as needed to prevent sticking.
- Add chickpeas and stir.
- Add sauce and continue cooking, stirring continuously for 2-3 minutes. Sauce will thicken slightly.
- To serve, pour broccoli, chickpea and sauce mixture over cooked brown rice.
Notes
Brown rice can be replaced with any other cooked grain. We recommend cooking a big batch of grains and keeping them in your refrigerator to use throughout the week.
That looks so good! I need to put it on this weeks meal plan!
Can’t wait to hear how it turns out!
