Maple Fish Sauce Brussels Sprouts

Ingredients

• 1 lb Brussels sprouts, halved
• Neutral oil, for the pan
• Maple syrup
• Fish sauce
• Chili flakes (gochugaru) and toasted sesame seeds, to garnish

Directions

• Trim and halve the Brussels sprouts.
• Whisk together roughly equal parts maple syrup and fish sauce to make the glaze.
• Heat oil in a pan over high heat and lay the sprouts cut-side down. Crank up the heat to get deep color and char on them.
• Add the maple-fish sauce glaze and let it reduce, tossing, until it coats the sprouts in a sticky glaze.
• Garnish with chili flakes and sesame seeds. Serve right away.
