1 tbsp. sesame oil

2 tsp. cornstarch

3 tbsp. neutral oil, divided

In a small bowl, mix honey, ketchup, soy sauce, vinegar, sesame oil, and cornstarch until combined. Set aside.

Stir reserved honey mixture to reincorporate and pour into skillet. Bring to a boil and cook, stirring occasionally, until sauce thickens to a glaze and coats chickpeas, about 1 minute. Add broccoli and cook, tossing, until coated in sauce and heated through, about 1 minute more; season with salt, if needed.
