Chickpea Salad Sandwich

This Chickpea Salad Sandwich is designed to staunch all your sandwich cravings. Full stop. I mean, what’s not to like? You mean the fact that it’s not chicken or tuna? Yeah, I know for some folks avoiding meat, it can sort of suck not being able to eat the things we grew up eating. But, I gotta tell you—I chowed down on this sandwich and didn’t miss a GD thing. And, my stomach was a lot happier about the whole thing too—no dairy, no heavy dressings, and plenty of healthy fibers and protein in my chickpeas!

But here’s the secret to this sandwich—grape jam.

WHUT?

I know. Grape jelly has no place in a savory salad sandwich! It belongs exclusively with its soulmate, PB! This is downright sacrilegious and unAmerican to boot!

Keep your pants on.

This is the itty bitty of “Korean” in this Korean Vegan recipe. This Chickpea Salad Sandwich is a take on the various sandwiches you can buy at one of those impossibly adorable cafes in Korea. You know—where all the sandwiches are individually prepared and packaged and you have to place them on a tray with a pair of tongs? And it works. You may not think it will, but give it try. The sweetness allows your tastebuds to truly appreciate the combo of flavors in the salad, in a way they simply would not if it was all savory savory savory.

So give this Chickpea Salad Sandwich a try! It’s easy to make, delicious, good for you, and just a little big weird. But in the best possible way.

The Korean Vegan, Esq.
This is one of my earlier TikTok videos, back when This is one of my earlier TikTok videos, back when this sandwich was on trend. Reposting it because sometimes I need to listen to my own advice. ❤️
Advice from 고모: Heartbreak. Advice from 고모: Heartbreak.
Earlier today, I watched a video of a white man en Earlier today, I watched a video of a white man encourage his 3 year old son to “make fun of his Asian uncle” by pulling the corners of his eyes back into slits.  When confronted by a number of Asians explaining how offensive the video was, he grew defensive, claiming it was “just a little fun.”
.
Several years ago, someone asked me what the big deal was about white people making fun of my eyes.  He claimed, “people make fun of my appearance all the time, I guess I’m just not as sensitive as you.” Being bullied for one’s appearance is always wrong and can definitely be traumatic no matter what. But when that appearance is tied to your ethnicity, and when that ethnicity is outnumbered, that kind of bullying can take on a different level of harm. If someone makes fun of my nose, I may spend the rest of my life hating my nose. But if someone makes fun of my eyes—an attribute tied to my Koreanness—then I not only hate my eyes, I also hate my Koreanness.
.
Bottom line, I never thought that in 2021, I’d have to explain why making “Asian eyes” to an Asian is offensive, inappropriate, and insensitive.  But apparently, it’s a message that continues to be in demand. In lieu of yelling at people, though, I thought I’d just share a story.
.
Finally, a couple translations: “Dominick’s Language” is what I used to call English, because it was the gibberish my Dad spoke at the grocery store. “Sohknehbok” is Korean underclothing, something my grandmother made me wear in summer, lol, because she was always afraid I would catch my death.
.
