Brussels Sprouts With Sweet Chili Sauce image

I had something similar at Noodle Star in Maui. The server said they deep fried their Brussels Sprouts leaves and then put a sauce on. Those were really addictive. But deep fried leaves with lots of sauce. So you are really not getting a lot of vegetables. This is a quick and healthier version.

Yield 1 pound, 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 lb Brussels sprout, remove stem tip and quarter
1 tablespoon canola oil
2 tablespoons sweet chili sauce (I use Trader Joe's)
2 teaspoons fish sauce or 2 teaspoons soy sauce, if you don't have fish sauce
1 tablespoon water
2 garlic cloves, minced finely

Steps:

  • Heat oil in heavy bottom (broiler safe) or cast iron 12 inch skillet on medium or medium/high heat. Place cut side of Brussels Sprout on pan, in single layer, don't over crowd. Cook about 2 minutes, or until browned.
  • Turn Brussels Sprouts over to the other cut surface, cook about 2 minutes. Add water to pan. Cover and steam on medium heat for about 3 minutes.
  • Mix Sweet Chili Sauce, Fish or soy sauce, and garlic in a small bowl until blended.
  • Turn Brussels Sprouts over to the rounded side (or the uncut surface).
  • Pour sauce mixture over browned Brussels Sprout. Don't mix. Put skillet of Brussels Sprout in broiler on high to carmelize sauce for about 3 minutes. Or until sauce is bubbling and carmelize but not burnt.
