A recent recipe request looking for dishes for 1 or 2 reminded me of an old cookbook dedicated to that topic. Though I have not made this in a while, it was one of my favorite sides. Posting it here so it doesn't get lost and to share it with others. The flavors in this side work quite nicely with a simple roasted or grilled meat or fish.

SERVES 2 (change servings and units)

Ingredients

10 ounces Brussels sprouts (fresh or frozen)
1 cup water or fat free broth
1 tablespoon low sodium soy sauce
2 teaspoons minced fresh ginger
2 minced garlic cloves
1/2-1 teaspoon Splenda granular or sugar
1/8 teaspoon red pepper flakes

Directions

1
If you are using fresh brussels sprouts, trim off bottoms and remove any loose or discolored outer leaves. Rinse in warm water and drain.
2
In a heavy saucepan, combine everything save the sprouts and bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Reduce heat and let the liquid simmer for 2-3 minutes. Add sprouts, cover and cook until the vegetables are crisp-tender. For fresh sprouts, cooking time is about 10 minutes. For frozen, it will be a minute or so less.

I loved the flavor of this dish. I used fresh and cooked them for 15 minutes and they still were a bit on the raw side. Next time I will steam the sprouts in a steamer basket using the sauce as the liquid. Adding the sprouts to the liquid the last few minutes of cooking. Thanks for posting. Made for Spring PAC 2009.

We really enjoyed these! I love brussel sprouts, but have never had them with these flavors. I was really glad I tried the combo — it was a nice change. I used fresh brussel sprouts and skipped the sugar. I steamed these in the microwave for about 6 minutes, so I used a lot less broth. Yummy!

what a unique way to fix sprouts! My husband enjoyed them and he's not a sprouts fan. I used the chicken broth and it added a nice flavor base. The leftovers were tasty since they absorbed more of the ginger flavor. These would be good added to a stir fry. Thanks Toni, for posting! Roxygirl

I love brussel sprouts and these were a nice way to serve them. I was surprised that the flavors were not as strong as I thought they would be, though letting them sit a few minutes and cool did strengthen them. I added some leftover cooked cubed chicken and stirred it all together to eat for lunch. A nice way to eat brussel sprouts. Next time I'll probably add a bit less broth/water (I used broth because I had some in my fridge that needed to be used) and a bit more soy sauce. Thanks toni!
