Brussels Sprouts With Sweet Chili Sauce

Submitted by Nado2003

"I had something similar at Noodle Star in Maui. The server said they deep fried their Brussels Sprouts leaves and then put a sauce on. Those were really addictive. But deep fried leaves with lots of sauce. So you are really not getting a lot of vegetables. This is a quick and healthier version."

3. Mix Sweet Chili Sauce, Fish or soy sauce, and garlic in a small bowl until blended.
4. Turn Brussels Sprouts over to the rounded side (or the uncut surface).
