  3. Bring the sauce to a gentle boil, then reduce the heat to low. Simmer for about 4-5 minutes, whisking occasionally until the sauce thickens.
  4. Stir in 1 can of drained chickpeas into the simmering peanut sauce and heat through for about 5 minutes.
  5. Heat another tablespoon of peanut oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add 2 cups of frozen broccoli and a sprinkle of black peppercorns. Sauté for around 4-5 minutes until the broccoli is bright green.
  6. Serve a scoop of cooked white rice in each bowl, top with chickpeas and sautéed broccoli. Garnish with cilantro, lime juice, and black pepper.
