Would chickpeas work in a stir fry instead of rice?

[IComeLastInAllTheRaces]

Feeling uncertain. If I have no rice, could I chuck chickpeas in with the veg instead to add bulk? Yay or nay?

Yes, I certainly would anyway. I put all sorts together.

No 🤢

Definitely.

I would. I love chick peas, and if you are veggie they are a good source of protein and more satisfying.

God yes

I love chickpeas too, think I'll go for it!

Mm, i shall have chickpeas tomorrow with stirfry, thanks for the idea op!

But you don't put rice in a stir fry? You serve it with it, cooked separately?

Chickpeas won't work in a stir fry, in terms of texture & what a stir fry is supposed to be - light thinly cut protein / veg, sauce.

However, you can use them & it'll be fine - just not a stir fry!

Can you airfry chickpeas?

Only if you make sure they are absolutely cooked through. Otherwise they can make you very ill.

Could try one and see? Would be interesting to know.

I'm imaging oven roasted seasoned chickpeas

Toss in olive oil, garlic, salt, pepper and air fry. Delicious.

To add. I use tinned and they need to be dry before you coat and air fry them

Love this idea!! Thanks OP! Will update with any good recipes

Have you never heard of stir-fried rice? I'm assuming that is what the OP is wanting to modify with chick peas.

Never heard of egg fried rice?

I like chickpeas but I wouldn’t fancy this.
Each to their own though
