Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 g Brussels sprouts
- 3 tbsp Soy sauce
- 3 cloves Garlic
- 2 tbsp Olive oil
- 1 tbsp Honey (or maple syrup for vegan option)
- 1 tsp Rice vinegar
- 0.5 tsp Red chili flakes (optional)
- 0.25 tsp Salt
- 0.25 tsp Black pepper
Instructions
Rinse the Brussels sprouts thoroughly and pat them dry. Trim the stems and remove any yellow or damaged outer leaves. Cut each sprout in half lengthwise.
Mince the garlic cloves and set them aside.
In a large skillet or wok, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat until shimmering.
Add the Brussels sprouts to the skillet, cut-side down, in a single layer. Let them cook undisturbed for 4-5 minutes until the cut sides are golden brown and caramelized.
Flip the Brussels sprouts using tongs and season with salt and black pepper. Cook for an additional 3-4 minutes until tender but still slightly crisp.
Reduce the heat to low and add the minced garlic, stirring frequently to avoid burning. Cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
In a small bowl, mix the soy sauce, honey (or maple syrup), and rice vinegar. Pour this mixture over the Brussels sprouts and toss to coat evenly.
If desired, sprinkle red chili flakes for a spicy kick. Cook for another 1-2 minutes to allow the glaze to thicken slightly.
Remove the skillet from heat and serve the Brussels sprouts warm. Enjoy as a side dish or over steamed rice for a complete meal.
