So little Coco has a busier work schedule than I do these days. Oh, social life too.
She is on her second trip down to Portland this week for work (ha! Can you believe that!?) I thought I would be a great little stage mom, but it turns out I am wrong. Because the number one thing you need to be a stage mom is time. A lot of it. Also- major patience and a love of driving. I am short on every one of those things, so I am going to have to recruit other family members to be Coco’s stage mom!
The important thing at this point is that she is having fun and feeling responsible- If she gets anything national that you can see- I will let you all know ☺
So with all this crazy traveling about, plus my 3 jobs, Coco’s Broadway Bound, Pia’s Fencing and the fact that I am babysitting my parents dog too (that is not even Pete’s schedule) I need FAST and EASY food. So twice in the two weeks I have picked up a rotisserie chicken (real life alert) and then made these Brussels sprouts. They are so easy and full of spicy delicious flavors. I steam rice in the time it takes to make these and then I have a full “well-rounded” meal that is perfect for weeknights. 
- 1 pound of Brussels sprouts, halved
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
- Sauce:
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- 2 inches fresh ginger, minced
- 1 red chili, minced
- 2 tablespoons rice vinegar
- 3 tablespoons hoisin (gluten free)
- 2 teaspoons toasted sesame oil
- kosher salt to taste
- 1 red chili, thinly sliced
- 1 tablespoon toasted sesame seeds
- In the jar of a blender puree the garlic, ginger, chili, vinegar, hoisin and sesame oil. Puree until smooth and season to taste with kosher salt.
- In a large heavy pan over high heat, add the 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil and then add the Brussels sprouts and sauté for 2 minutes until the vegetables are beginning to brown on the edges. Add the sauce and continue to cook for another two minutes. Add the chili and sauté one minute further until the brussels sprouts are fork tender. Season to taste with kosher salt.
- Transfer the sprouts to a bowl and sprinkle with sesame seeds.
- Serve hot.

Good Dish… Most of the people won’t like Brussles Sprouts in their dine. But the dish goes yummy when we prepare different cooking styles & ingredients what are we using in our dish.
Yay for your little Coco. And the dish is so healthy and relish for a satisfying meal.
