Preparation Steps
  1. Heat the sesame oil in a large pan or wok over medium heat for about 1 minute.
  2. Add the diced onion, minced garlic, minced ginger, and chopped red pepper. Sauté for 5 minutes until aromatic and the onion is translucent.
  3. Increase heat to high and add the day-old jasmine rice and chickpeas. Pour in soy sauce and rice vinegar, stirring well to combine. Cook for 3-4 minutes until some rice browns slightly.
