So, after testing a few variations I came up with this beautiful Crispy Miso Chickpea Bowl with brown rice, fresh veggies, and a saucy garlic sesame marinade. When added, the Tahini Miso Dressing elevates it to the next level, but it is optional. However, the pairing of the two is super dreamy! Let me show you how easy it is to make this 10-ingredient bowl! Once your grains of choice are ready, prepare your chickpeas by tossing in miso*, sesame oil, a little maple syrup, and red pepper flake or chili garlic sauce. The combination creates a crispy chickpea infused with plenty of savory, spicy, sweet flavor. Swoon! *Learn more about the origins of miso here! Up next, make your ginger sesame sauce, adapted from my Almond Butter Tofu Thai Noodle Bowls! It’s tangy, slightly sweet, salty, and perfect for elevating the rice and veggies in this dish. We hope you LOVE this bowl! It’s: CrunchySaltySavoryFreshCustomizableQuick & easy to make& Incredibly satisfying This would make the perfect weeknight meal when you need something satisfying and wholesome on the table fast! Alternatively, store the chickpeas separately and add the sauce to the rice and veggies to marinate, making it the perfect dish to enjoy throughout the week as a quick lunch! This bowl is delicious on its own or elevated with our Tahini Miso Dressing (yes, that’s two dressings — we know we’re extra), and would pair perfectly with something like our Thai Spring Rolls.
