After the chickpeas have soaked, drain them and rinse thoroughly. Blend one half of the chickpeas with a little bit of salt until it's a rough, chunky mix. Put this in a large bowl. Take the other half of the chickpeas and blend them with the onion, miso, dried herbs, spices, vinegar, oil, cornstarch, and baking powder. Mix the two batches together until smooth and well combined.

Set your oven at 200°C so it can preheat. Line a baking tray with parchment paper. Take a spoonful of the dough and press it into nugget shapes with your hands, then place on the tray. Lightly brush the tops with a bit of oil. Bake for 15 to 20 minutes, keeping an eye on them as they turn golden brown.
