Teriyaki sprouts with chilli and sesame
Guy's brother Ben runs the farm shop and kitchen where we make the teriyaki sauce sold alongside our vegboxes. It's great for quick meat stir-fries, but is also good with green veg. Serve with cooked rice or egg noodles tossed in a little sesame oil for a simple vegetarian supper (add some tofu for protein), or add leftover pieces of cooked chicken, beef or pork from a roast.
Ingredients
- 500g Brussels sprouts, trimmed
- oil for frying to a high temp, e.g. sunflower
- 1-2 red chillies, thinly sliced, seeds removed for less heat, if you prefer
- 2 garlic cloves, thinly sliced
- 3cm fresh ginger, peeled and grated or cut into very thin matchsticks
- 2 tbsp teriyaki sauce
- 1 tbsp sesame seeds (we used black ones for colour, but normal ones will do)
Method
-
Step 1
Boil the sprouts in a pan of salted water for about 5 minutes, depending on size, until just tender.
-
Step 2
Drain, refresh in a bowl of cold water, then drain again. Leave whole, or cut larger ones in half.
-
Step 3
Heat 2 tablespoons oil in wok or large frying pan. When hot, add the sprouts, chilli, garlic and ginger.
-
Step 4
Stir fry for 2 minutes, then add the teriyaki sauce and sesame seeds and toss together for a few moments before serving.
