COOK TIME: 10 MINUTES
SERVES: 4
INGREDIENTS
2 cloves garlic, crushed 7 oz green beans, trimmed 2 cans chickpeas (17 oz/3 cups) 1 tbsp cornflour or arrowroot powder Brown rice, to serve Sweet and Sour Sauce
2 tbsp maple syrup 1⁄4 cup tamari 1⁄4 cup rice vinegar 1 tbsp tomato paste 1⁄2 cup water
METHOD
Add garlic to a nonstick frying pan and sauté for around 2 minutes. Then, add the green beans and sauté for around 3 minutes more, until softened.
Meanwhile, prepare the sauce by stirring together the maple syrup, tamari, rice vinegar, tomato paste and water.
Add the chickpeas, sauce and cornflour to the saucepan. Cook on low-medium heat for around 5 minutes, until the sauce has thickened. Serve immediately with brown rice.
Obstacles appear faster than you expect. Every Slope movement matters and every reaction counts.
I liked how simple the recipe felt, especially the part where the sauce is made with just a few ingredients like maple syrup, tamari, rice vinegar, and tomato paste it’s surprising that something so straightforward can create that sweet-and-tangy flavor. The step where the chickpeas and green beans simmer until the sauce thickens sounded especially comforting with brown rice on the side. While reading food blogs lately (and oddly enough even while researching things like the Top English Assignment Help Service in Australia for a completely different task), I’ve started noticing how recipes like this make home cooking feel much less intimidating. Curious if anyone has tried adding other veggies to the same sauce.
