Recipe Intro From plantbasedrd
Create that same velvety, take-out sauce at home with just a few pantry staples. The cornstarch slurry will thicken your sweet and sour sauce just like your favorite take out place. But please feel free to replace the chickpeas with tofu or over vegetables you have on hand. Serve over a bed of steamed ginger rice or quinoa.
