Chickpeas!

I'm completely 50/50 on this recipe. It was useful for cleaning out the fridge because I had some celery and carrots languishing away but the celery didn't do anything for me (the original recipe called for chickpeas, celery, carrots and broccoli). I really only like celery raw with peanut butter. The sauce didn't really get thick either and I really like a nice thick stir fry sauce to coat all the veggies and rice. However, I am in love, love, love with the marinated chickpeas. Maybe it's because I haven't had them in forever or because I've never had them stir fried or because the marinade was delicious. I would make a batch just for them and omit all the other veggies (which I did in the below recipe). One more healthy veggie dinner down!
