1poundbrussels sprouts, halved or quartered if large
½cupwater
2teaspoonssoy sauce
1teaspoonchili flakes
1teaspoonsesame seeds
Instructions
Make sure your wok or pan has a tight-fitting lid. Also, have the water close to you.
Heat the wok to high heat. When the wok is almost smoking, add the oil. Add the ginger and garlic and sauté quickly.
When the garlic has turned translucent, stir the Brussels sprouts so they get coated in the oil. Spread them into an even layer so they will cook evenly.
Add the water and quickly cover the wok. Cook without stirring until the water has almost completely evaporated, 4 to 6 minutes. After silent simmering, there will be loud popping sounds that quiet to a crackle. At that point, you will know the sprouts are done.
Uncover the wok and add the soy sauce and red pepper flakes.
Sprinkle the sesame seeds on top and serve.
