Ingredients

  • tablespoons safflower oil 
  • Dash chili pepper flakes 
  • 25  brussels sprouts 
  • 1.5 tablespoons black bean garlic sauce 
  • servings ground pepper black

Equipment

  • frying pan

Directions

  1. Prep the Brussels sprouts: Wash the Brussels sprouts well. Trim the stems and discard any of the loose leaves. Quarter them lengthwise.
  2. Place the oil and chili flakes into a large skillet and place over medium-high heat.
  3. Add the Brussels sprouts to the pan and cook for about 3-5 minutes or until the sprouts begin to brown a bit. They may absorb all the oil, if they do just add another 1/2 tablespoon of oil.
  4. Add the black bean garlic sauce and stir until all the Brussels sprouts are well coated.
  5. Add a pinch of ground black pepper (the sauce is already salty so you probably won't need any salt).
  6. Cook for about 30 more seconds. Take off heat and serve immediately.
