Stop. Don’t go running away on me after I mention the “b” word. It’s okay. Brussel. Sprouts.
They can actually be a good thing, you know! I mean come on, these babies are SMOTHERED in garlic and ginger. Does it get any better that that? Trust me – even the hubs was skeptical about the whole brussel sprouts thing, but after one bite (and a “holy cow”) he ended up LOVING them!
This recipe is SUPER simple: ginger, garlic, brussel sprouts, salt, and a little crushed red pepper flakes. That is it, my friends!
The hubs and I went to a food truck frenzie recently and there was a Miami based Asian Fusion truck called Dim ssam a gogo that was UH-MAZING. We tried a few items (each of which were incredible), however I noticed an item on the menu that I WISH I tried (Ginger Brussel Sprouts). I thought about them for a few days afterwards and just couldn’t take it anymore! I HAD to make my own. And these babies were born!
Please don’t be afraid. These little bites of gold will knock your socks off.

Instructions

I can NEVER get your wonderful recipes to print. Can you suggest what might help me to do so?
Hi Susie, you should see a print button on the right side of the recipe box, under the image. Happy cooking!
OMG!! My Hubs and a few friends were at a food truck meet up around 2011 at the circle in Hollywood, Fl and there was an Asian food truck serving the most amazing Brussel sprouts ever. I wonder if it was the same truck??
