Spicy Brussels Sprouts with Mint

Ingredients

  • 2 tbsp vegetable oil
  • 1/2 cup Rice Krispies or other puffed rice cereal
  • 1/4 tsp togarashi, see Note or cayenne pepper
  • kosher salt
  • 1/4 cup Asian fish sauce
  • 2 tbsp water
  • 2 tbsp sugar
  • 1 tbsp rice vinegar
  • 1 tbsp fresh lime juice
  • 1 small garlic clove, minced
  • 1/4 cup chopped cilantro
  • 2 cup chopped mint
  • 4 cup roasted or boiled brussels sprouts, about 2 pound halved lengthwise

Directions

1. In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of the oil until shimmering. Add the Rice Krispies and togarashi and cook over high heat, stirring, until browned, about 30 seconds. Season with salt. Transfer to a plate and wipe out the skillet.

2. In a small bowl, combine the fish sauce, water, sugar, rice vinegar, lime juice, garlic and chile and stir until the sugar is dissolved. Add the cilantro and mint.

3. Add the remaining 1 tablespoon of oil to the skillet and heat until nearly smoking. Add the brussels sprouts; cook over high heat, stirring, until charred in spots and heated through, about 5 minutes. Transfer to a bowl and toss with the vinaigrette. Just before serving, sprinkle the Rice Krispies on top and serve right away.
