  2. 1/4 c. ketchup
  3. 1/4 c. reduced-sodium soy sauce
  4. 2 tbsp. rice wine vinegar
  5. 1 tbsp. sesame oil
  6. 2 tsp. cornstarch
  7. 3 tbsp. neutral oil, divided
  8. 1 large head broccoli (about 1 lb.) cut into 2" florets
  9. 1/2 tsp. (or more) kosher salt
  10. 2 cloves garlic, finely chopped
  11. 1 tbsp. finely chopped peeled ginger
  12. 2 (14.5-oz.) cans chickpeas, drained, rinsed
  13. 1/8 tsp. baking soda
  14. 2 tbsp. toasted sesame seeds

Instructions

  1. In a small bowl, mix honey, ketchup, soy sauce, vinegar, sesame oil, and cornstarch until combined. Set aside.
  2. In a large skillet over medium-high heat, heat 2 Tbsp. neutral oil. Add broccoli, season with 1/2 tsp. salt, and cook, tossing occasionally, until charred and just tender, 5 to 6 minutes. Transfer to a plate.
