A delightful recipe for Brussels sprouts with a spicy soy glaze, perfect for a quick and flavorful side dish.
Prepare the Brussels sprouts by trimming the ends and cutting them in half lengthwise.
Cutting the sprouts in half allows them to cook evenly and absorb more flavor.
In a mixing bowl, whisk together the olive oil, soy sauce, sriracha, Dijon mustard, ground ginger, and garlic powder until smooth.
Whisking thoroughly ensures the flavors are well combined.
Add the Brussels sprouts to the bowl and toss them in the glaze until evenly coated.
Letting the sprouts sit in the glaze for a few minutes enhances the flavor.
Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the Brussels sprouts, placing them cut side down, and pour any remaining glaze over them.
Placing the sprouts cut side down helps achieve a caramelized texture.
Cook for 7-9 minutes until the bottoms are browned, then stir and cook for an additional 5 minutes until tender.
Check the tenderness by poking a sprout with a fork.
Transfer to a serving dish and sprinkle with toasted sesame seeds before serving.
Serve immediately to enjoy the best texture and flavor.
