Ingredients

  • Red Chilli: 1 red chilli, shredded (optional)
  • Sugar: pinch of sugar
  • Soy Sauce: 1 tbsp low-sodium soy sauce
  • Sesame Seed: 3 1/2 tbsp sesame seed
  • Mirin: 1 tbsp mirin or Sherry
  • Brussels Sprout: 500g Brussels sprout, roughly chopped

Directions

  1. Toast the sesame seeds and, while they are still hot, use a pestle and mortar to grind all but 1/2 tbsp until almost powder-like. Mix the soy and mirin into the crushed seeds, along with the sugar and 2 tsp water.
  2. Heat a large wok, then stir-fry the sprouts with a splash of water until softened but still crunchy. Stir through the sesame paste, then scatter with the remaining sesame seeds and the chilli, if using.
