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

Directions

Step 1

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.

Step 2

Mince the garlic cloves and set them aside.

Step 3

In a large skillet or wok, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat until shimmering.

Step 4

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.

Step 5

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.

Step 6

Reduce the heat to low and add the minced garlic, stirring frequently to avoid burning. Cook for 1 minute until fragrant.

Step 7

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.

Step 8

If desired, sprinkle red chili flakes for a spicy kick. Cook for another 1-2 minutes to allow the glaze to thicken slightly.

Step 9

Remove the skillet from heat and serve the Brussels sprouts warm. Enjoy as a side dish or over steamed rice for a complete meal.
