Description

Imagine roasted Brussels sprouts doused in General Tso’s sauce. They’re sweet, tangy, spicy and better than you can imagine.

Ingredients

  • FOR THE SPROUTS:
  • 1-½ pound Brussels Sprouts
  • 1-½ Tablespoon Olive Oil
  • 1 pinch Kosher Salt
  • FOR THE SAUCE:
  • 3 Tablespoons Low Sodium Soy Sauce
  • 2 Tablespoons Shaoxing Wine
  • 2 Tablespoons Distilled White Vinegar
  • 3 Tablespoons Vegetable Broth
  • 4 Tablespoons Granulated Cane Sugar
  • 1 teaspoon Sesame Oil
  • 1 Tablespoon Cornstarch
  • 1 Tablespoon Water
  • 2 teaspoons Canola Oil
  • 2 cloves Garlic, Minced
  • 1 Tablespoon Minced Fresh Ginger
  • 2 stalks Green Onion, Sliced
  • 6 whole Chile De Arbol, Roughly Chopped

Preparation

1. Preheat oven to 425 F (220 C). Line a large rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. Trim the bottoms off of the Brussels sprouts and chop them in half. Toss them with oil and sprinkle with a small pinch of salt. Pour onto the lined baking sheet in an even layer and bake for 18 to 20 minutes, until the leaves have browned and the sprouts are softened.
3. In a small bowl, mix the soy sauce, Shaoxing wine, rice vinegar, broth/stock, sugar, and sesame oil together. In another small bowl, mix the cornstarch and water together until the cornstarch is well dissolved. Heat the canola in a small saucepan over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and ginger and cook until the garlic turns golden brown, about 2 to 3 minutes. Add the soy sauce mixture, then add the cornstarch mixture. Cook for a minute or two, until the sauce starts to boil. Add the chopped green onion and chilies, and cook for another minute. Turn off the heat.
4. When the Brussels sprouts are done, stir it with the sauce. The sauce will thicken once it cools. If you prepared the sauce ahead of time, and it’s too thick, just warm it up a little again before stirring with the Brussels sprouts.
5. Enjoy with rice.

This is so good! I did have to make a substitution since I didn’t have the wine on hand. I used rice wine vinegar in its place, but extra vegetable broth would’ve also yielded a good result. I served it with cauliflower rice. This recipe is going to a repeat in my house. Thanks for the great recipe!
