Ingredients
- 2 pounds brussels sprouts, halved and stems trimmed
- 1/2 cup vegetable oil
- 1/4 cup rice vinegar
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- 2 tablespoons hoisin sauce
- 2 tablespoons fresh ginger, grated
- 2 cloves garlic, finely minced
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- 1 teaspoon corn starch
- 12 whole dried red chilies
- 1/2 cup salted peanuts, chopped
- 1/4 cup green onion, thinly sliced
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
- Toss the brussels sprouts with the vegetable oil until well coated. Transfer to a baking sheet - spread the sprouts so that they are in a single layer. Bake for 25 minutes.
- In the meantime, in a small sauce pan, over medium heat, add the sesame oil, vinegar, soy sauce, hoisin sauce, ginger, garlic, and corn starch. Whisk together until well combined.
- Add the dried red chilies and continue to cook until sauce has thickened. It should coat the back of a spoon very well.
- Turn off the heat and stir in the chopped peanuts.
- Once the brussels sprouts are cooked, transfer to a serving bowl and spoon the sauce evenly over the sprouts. Garnish with the green onions and serve immediately.
