I really enjoyed this! Loved the mix of peanut oil and sesame oil. I also loved the crushed red pepper. I seemed to have a bit more sesame seeds than I needed for the recipe, but excess is good, right?! Fun way to dress up the wonderful sprout! Thanks for sharing.

This was very tasty, I didn't have peanut oil and used canola instead used low-sodium soy sauce with fresh sprouts. I would caution the 2-3 minutes on high for the garlic, it seemed to brown in less than a minute and I was afraid it would become bitter. This was quick to put together...don't forget the sesame oil at the end, I did initially and was glad I looked at the recipe one more time. I also drizzled a bit of seasoned rice vinegar on the finished dish for contrast. Thanks for posting.

I did half the recipe cause I only got 1 lb of brussels sprouts. I steamed them. I omitted the black pepper. It gives a great taste to the brussels sprouts. Yummy. Thanks Parsley :) Made for the Zwizzle Chicks of ZWT
