Method
 

  1. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet or wok over medium heat.
  2. Add the minced garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes, stirring frequently, until fragrant but not browned.
  3. Add the broccoli florets to the skillet and stir-fry for 4-5 minutes until they begin to soften and turn bright green.
  4. Mix the soy sauce, sesame oil, cornstarch, and water in a small bowl until smooth.
  5. Add the chickpeas and the soy sauce mixture to the skillet, stirring to coat the broccoli and chickpeas evenly.
  6. Cook for another 3-4 minutes until the sauce thickens and the broccoli is tender-crisp.
  7. Season with salt, pepper, and crushed red pepper flakes, if desired.
  8. Remove from heat and garnish with sesame seeds before serving.

Notes

You can substitute tofu or another protein for chickpeas if desired. Adjust the spice level by adding more or less crushed red pepper flakes.
