Hawaiian Chickpea Teriyaki - cooking recipe

Ingredients

1 (15 ounce) can chickpeas, drained and rinsed
1/4 cup teriyaki sauce
1 tablespoon szechuan sauce (optional) or 1 tablespoon hot sauce (optional)
1 tablespoon raw sugar (optional)
1 cup cooked brown rice (or cooked greens)
1 1 cup mangoes or 1 cup pineapple salsa

Preparation

Combine chickpeas, teriyaki sauce, Szechuan sauce, and sugar in a large frying pan.
Allow to marinate for at least 5 minutes.
Cook over medium heat, stirring regularly, until most of the liquid has absorbed, about 10 minutes.
Spoon over cooked rice and top with salsa. (For a lighter dish, you can substitute cooked greens, such as steamed kale, for the rice.).
Chef Note: To create your own pineapple/peach/mango salsa mix equal parts chopped fruit with minced red onion, fresh cilantro, and lime juice to taste.
