Soak the dried minced garlic in two teaspoons of water to rehydrate them for one minute.
Bring a medium saucepan to medium heat. When hot, add avocado oil to coat the bottom of the pan. When oil is hot, add the garlic, ginger, 3/4 of the green onions (reserving the rest for garnish-optional), and peppercorn. Cook for 2-3 minutes.
Add the cooked white rice, garam masala powder, 2 cups of the vegan milk, and kosher salt. Continue cooking for another 10 minutes. Stir regularly to prevent burning.
After 10 minutes, stir in the remaining cup of milk, applesauce, chickpeas, Asian pears and continue stirring and cooking for 2-3 minutes until everything is combined and cooked together. Salt to taste.
Turn off heat. Use a ladle to serve into bowls and drizzle good olive oil on top with a sprinkle of fresh cracked black peppercorn. Add extra sliced green onions for garnish.
Notes
When reheating, add a little bit of water and be sure to salt to taste.
