Ingredients

• 3 cups cooked jasmine or basmati rice
• 1 cup chickpea flour
• 1 cup water
• 2 tablespoons nutritional yeast
• 0.5 teaspoons turmeric powder
• 0.5 teaspoons black salt
• 3 tablespoons olive oil
• 3 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 tablespoon ginger, minced
• 1 medium carrot, finely diced
• 0.5 cup frozen peas
• 3 stalks green onions, sliced
• 3 tablespoons soy sauce
• 1 teaspoon sesame oil
• 0.25 teaspoons salt
• 0.25 teaspoons pepper

Directions

Step 1

In a medium bowl, whisk together chickpea flour, water, nutritional yeast, turmeric powder, and black salt until smooth to create the egg mixture.

Step 2

In a large non-stick pan, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Pour in the chickpea mixture, allowing it to spread like an omelette. Cook for about 5 minutes, then flip and cook for another 2 minutes. Remove from the pan, chop into small pieces, and set aside.

Step 3

In the same pan, heat the remaining olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the minced garlic and ginger, and sauté for 1 minute until fragrant.

Step 4

Add the diced carrot and continue to sauté for about 3 minutes until they start to soften.

Step 5

Stir in the frozen peas and cook for an additional 2 minutes.

Step 6

Add the cooked rice to the pan, breaking up any clumps with a spatula. Stir in the soy sauce and chopped chickpea 'egg', mixing well to combine.

Step 7

Sprinkle the green onions over the rice mixture and drizzle with sesame oil. Stir everything together and cook for another 2 minutes until everything is heated through.

Step 8

Season with salt and pepper to taste, and serve hot.
