My family and I love Chinese food and this famous restaurant in our area serves some of the best Chinese/Thai delicacies that I have ever tasted. On our last visit, we tried their tasty kung pao delicacy and it was amazing!! Ever since, I wanted to experiment and create the same flavor in my kitchen. If you love kung pao dishes as much as I do then you’re surley going to love Kung Pao Brussels Sprouts. It’s so simple, yet so delicious! How to make Healthy Kung Pao Brussels Sprouts?
Don’t have a liking for brussels sprouts, no worries. Try it on any other veggies or proteins like green beans, roasted cauliflower florets, roasted potato wedges, tofu, or paneer. Meat lovers can add their favorites to this sauce and create a lip-smacking meal. Time to prepare our sweet and spicy quick kung pao sauce. Heat oil in a wok, stir fry chilies, ginger-garlic paste and saute for few seconds. Pour in rest of the ingredients, mix and finally add cornstarch. Let it simmer for a while until everything starts to come together and in minutes the sauce will thicken. You can customize the heat/spice level to your liking. Add the brussels sprouts at the very end. Toss until its well coated or glazed with kung pao sauce. Finish off with roasted chopped peanuts and green onions. The end result is completely irresistible – crispy brussels sprouts meets crunchy peanuts and sweet ‘n’spicy kung pao sauce. It’s truly an incredible explosion of flavors! Pair it with steamed rice, spicy veg noodles and create a killer vegetarian meal tonight. If you happen to make this recipe, please leave me a comment or share your pics on with me on Facebook. I would love to see your creation and would be happy to answer any questions. Cheers!
