    Stir-Fried Brussels Sprouts

    Jump to Recipe Print Recipe

    An Asian style Brussels Sprouts stir-fry with garlic and peppers. This recipe is made on the stove top and takes just 10 minutes.

    Time to make the easiest and BEST Vegan appetizer ever! 

    This is a sponsored post on behalf of Lee Kum Kee. All opinons are mine alone. 

    Brussels Sprouts are in season and it is the perfect time to make so many recipes using them. We love brussels in every possible way. Roasted, stir fried, steamed or cooked into a curry! 

    Today I am sharing a simple stir-fry that is full of Asian flavors and super easy to make. 

    No oven or air fryer required; this recipe comes together in under 10 minutes on the stove top.

    What are Brussels Sprouts?

    A member of the cabbage family, brussels sprouts are grown to consume the buds.

    They look like mini cabbages and are popular in many recipes for appetizers and mains. 

    From roasting and grilling to steaming or stir frying; all the cooking methods work really well for them and they can be seasoned with a variety of spices.

    What you need to make this recipe?

    Brussels sprouts is the key ingredient here. I like to pick them almost of the same size if I buy them at the farmers market.

    If I get them in bulk, I try and separate them by size and use the ones from one size together. That way they cook almost at the same time and have a consistent char.

    Garlic and red pepper are added to flavor them. Scallions, broccoli or asparagus make a great addition to this recipe too. 

    The sauce I used here is the stir fry sauce from Lee Kum Kee. The sauce is great for the recipe and is perfect to add a lot of flavor without having to add many ingredients. 

    Chili oil and sesame oil are used here. They can be replaced by olive oil too. If chili oil seems to spicy, replace that with sesame oil or olive oil too. 

    A hint of soy sauce helps give the brussels a great glaze and flavor. 

    Making these stir fried Brussels Sprouts

    The easiest way to make this recipe is to do it on the stove top. 

    They take a few minutes to brown and char but it is still pretty easy. Only one pot and a handful of ingredients are required to make this.

    If you like your sprouts roasted, you can roast them or air fry them till crisp. Sauté garlic and sauces in a pan and add them to the brussels. 

    That way the brussels will be crisp throughout. The stove top method gives it a char but they are soft and tender inside. 

    Serving Suggestions 

    This recipe makes a great appetizer or snack.  

    Packed with flavor from garlic, stir fry sauce and soy sauce; this recipe is great for steamed rice or quinoa too. 

    Or serve it with a salad or Asian style spring rolls. We also like it with a side of soup for a light meal. 

    Tips to get it right

    To make sure the recipe works well each time, here are some pointers:

    • Use a wide pan for this recipe. Only the brussels that touch the base or sides of the pan will char. Taking a deep or narrow pan will cook the brussels through without charring the edges.
    • Try and pick the brussels sprouts of even size. They will cook uniformly.
    • Using a steel or cast iron pan works best for this recipe. They give the brussels a wonderful char.
    • The entire recipe is made on high flame. If after adding the sauces they start sticking to the pan, add a few spoons of water to deglaze the pan. 
    • Serve the brussels sprouts immediately to ensure they are crisp. 

    Steps

    Wash and pat dry the brussels sprouts. Trim the outer leaves and cut them into halves.

    Heat sesame oil in a wide pan on high heat.

     

    Once the oil is smoking hot, add the brussels sprouts and let them cook for a couple of minutes. 

    Turn them over and let them cook on the other side for a couple of minutes. 

    Move them to the side of the pan and add chili oil. 

    Add in garlic and red pepper and sauté till the garlic is fragrant. 

    Season with salt and pepper and mix well. 

    Add Lee Kum Kee Vegetarian Stir Fry sauce and soy sauce. 

    Let the brussels sprouts absorb the sauces and turn down the flame. Serve topped with green onions, cilantro and roasted peanuts (optional).
