This recipe comes from www.elavegan.com, I have adjusted a few things to change it up a little- please see www.elavegan.com for original recipe and credit.Prepare the sauce: In a medium bowl, combine water, soy sauce, vinegar, maple syrup, and cornstarch, whisk and set aside. Heat oil in a pan over medium heat. Add onion, ginger, garlic, and all spices. Sauté for 3-4 minutes.
Add broccoli florets and vegetable broth. Fry until the broccoli is tender but not soft, about 10 minutes.
Pour the sauce in the pan and add chickpeas. Bring to a boil until the sauce simmers. Fry for a further few minutes. Taste and adjust seasonings. Add more salt/pepper/cayenne pepper if needed. Serve alone or with cooked rice.
