This recipe was really quite amazing....and I'm not exactly a vegetable lover, but I'm trying. The only thing I would suggest is to perhaps sautee the onions a bit on their own to soften before adding the Sprouts. With the danger being over-cooking the Sprouts and smelling the punge, my onions didn't soften enough and I ended up with an unsettled stomach all night. It was only the onions - not the recipe!! I will definitely be making these again - thank you!

The recipe makes a nice stir fry but you didn't give any measurements for the slurry. I used 1 tsp. of each and it turned to a mushy paste when I added it to the recipe. I wound up scrapping most of it off. I'm giving it 4 stars because the basic recipe is good. Made for Zaar Cookbook tag game.

Great brussels sprouts! The soy/ginger/garlic combination was great with this. Ready in a flash too - can't beat that! I was generous with the crushed red pepper and might add some sesame seeds too next time. Thanks for sharing the recipe!

We loved, loved, loved these brussels sprouts! Stir frying sweetens them, and the ginger, garlic and soy sauce gives them a wonderful Asian flavor. This cooks up in a hurry and has become a new favorite in our house. The only thing I will do differently is to use a low sodium soy sauce as this was a little salty for our tastes. Thank you for sharing this wonderful recipe...it is definitely a keeper!<br/>**Made for 2011 Football Pool**

Congrats on your Football tag Win! I love brussels sprouts, so knew I'd love this. I used equal portions in the slurry, since there were no measurements for this. Next time I'll increase the liquids, as it just turned into a paste.....but delicious nonetheless! I loved the combination of the ginger with the garlic and brussels sprouts. Delectable!
