Directions

1

Preheat the oven to 200°C.

2

To make the cucumber salad, begin by trimming the ends of the cucumbers. Then, using a rolling pin, gently smash the cucumbers until they split (this creates a flavour you simply can't achieve from just cutting, and also allows them to better absorb the seasoning), then slice into small chunks and put into a sieve set over a bowl. Sprinkle with a good pinch of salt and toss to coat. Leave to sit to allow some of the cucumber water to release while you're cooking.

3

Rinse the chickpeas and pat them dry with paper towel, then tip into a baking dish. Toss with two tablespoons of the olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Roast for 25-30 minutes until crispy, tossing halfway through.

4

Meanwhile, tip the cucumber into a salad bowl, then add the rest of the salad ingredients. Toss to combine and set aside.

5

Combine the gochujang, soy sauce or tamari, honey or maple syrup, garlic and ginger in a medium-sized saucepan over a medium heat. Bring to a gentle simmer, stirring constantly. Cook for 2-3 minutes until fully combined and smelling fragrant.

6

Remove the chickpeas from the oven and stir into the saucepan.

7

Continue to stir until the sauce reduces and thickens slightly; you want it to have a slightly sticky but glossy texture. Remove from the heat and serve with the salad. We like serving this as a rice bowl, loading up each bowl first with rice, then cucumber salad and then chickpeas, before sprinkling over the optional toppings: sesame seeds, sliced spring onions and nori.
