Steps:
- Make the sauce: In a blender or bowl, combine all the ingredients and mix until smooth. It should be thick but pourable like barbecue sauce; add water as needed to thin it out.
- Cook noodles for stir-frying according to the package directions; they should be slightly underdone. After draining, rinse well with cold water to stop the cooking. Toss noodles in 1 teaspoon coconut oil to prevent sticking.
- Cut scallions: Thinly slice the white parts, and cut the pale and dark green parts into 1-inch lengths.
- Heat a wok or large nonstick skillet over high. Add 2 tablespoons coconut oil and sprinkle in salt. Add brussels sprouts and sear, tossing occasionally, until browned and cooked through, about 5 minutes. Remove from the pan and set aside.
- In the same pan over high heat, heat remaining 1 tablespoon coconut oil. Add scallions and cook, stirring often, just until wilted, about 2 minutes. Add garlic, stir, then pour in about half the sauce and stir until bubbling.
- Add noodles and cook, tossing in the sauce until cooked through, about 2 minutes. Add the remaining sauce, cooked brussels sprouts, cilantro and bean sprouts, if using; toss to coat and heat through.
- Divide among plates. Garnish with peanuts, chile and lime wedges (if using) and serve immediately.
BRUSSELS SPROUTS AND NOODLE STIR-FRY
Entered for safe-keeping, from Better Homes and Gardens "Cook's Secrets: 62 Recipes You'll Want to Make Forever". Look for smaller, compact sprouts that are vivid green (sweetest). Larger Brussels sprouts can be a little bitter. Brussels sprouts can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To store fresh cilantro, cut 1/2-inch from the bottoms of stems and stand in small jar or glass with about 1 inch of water; loosely cover with a plastic bag, and if you change the water every few days, it will stay fresh for up to 2 weeks. One tablespoon grated fresh ginger will be about 1 inch of fresh ginger (if using a microplane grater, 1 tablespoon will be too much). To make it a main dish, add 2 cups chopped, cooked chicken breast or ham or cooked and shelled and deveined shrimp to the skillet when you add the broth.

Steps:
- Break spaghetti into pieces. Cook according to package directions; drain. Return spaghetti to hop pan; cover and keep warm.

- In a large skillet over medium-high heat, heat oil. Add onion and garlic; cook for 1 minute.
- Add Brussels sprouts, ginger, and crushed red pepper; cook and stir for 1 minute more.
- Add broth and soy sauce (and desired protein, if any). Cook about 2 minutes more or until liquid is nearly evaporated, stirring occasionally.

STIR-FRIED BRUSSELS SPROUTS
Brussels sprouts caramelize to a deep, delicious brown while retaining a fresh bite in minutes when cooked on the stovetop. In this adaptation of wok stir-frying, the sprouts quickly sear in a single layer in a skillet, then steam through with a splash of water to tenderize their tough cores. Crushed garlic cloves release their aroma into the hot oil, but are in chunks big enough to not burn and get bitter. A final sprinkle of sugar, soy sauce and red-pepper flakes give the sprouts a nice balance of sweet, salty and spicy. You can eat this with other stir-fries and steamed rice or alongside any main dish. Leftovers, reheated or cold, can be tossed into grain bowls and salads.

Steps:
- Heat a large skillet over high for a few minutes. Drops of water should skitter across the surface then evaporate quickly. Set the pan lid and 1/2 cup water next to the stove. Add enough oil to coat the bottom of the pan (3 to 4 tablespoons), then add garlic and sizzle until fragrant and wisps of smoke rise from the oil, about 15 seconds. Add brussels sprouts, sprinkle with salt and pepper, and stir to coat with oil. Spread in an even layer, carefully add water and immediately cover.
- Cook without stirring until the water has almost completely evaporated, 4 to 6 minutes. After silent simmering, there will be loud popping sounds that quiet to a crackle.
- Uncover, sprinkle with sugar and soy sauce, and stir for 1 minute. Sprinkle with red-pepper flakes and serve.

Tips:
- Prep your ingredients beforehand: Cut the Brussels sprouts, carrots, and bell peppers into uniform sizes for even cooking. Pre-cook the noodles according to the package instructions and set them aside.
- Use high-quality ingredients: Fresh, crisp vegetables and flavorful noodles will make all the difference in the final dish. Choose thick, firm Brussels sprouts that are free of blemishes.
- Don't overcrowd the pan: Stir-fries are best cooked in batches to prevent steaming. If you crowd the pan, the vegetables will not brown properly and will become soggy.
- Use a well-seasoned wok or large skillet: A well-seasoned wok or large skillet will help prevent the food from sticking. If you don't have a wok, a large non-stick skillet will work just fine.
- Cook the Brussels sprouts first: Brussels sprouts take longer to cook than the other vegetables, so it's best to add them to the pan first. Cook them for a few minutes until they start to brown, then add the carrots and bell peppers.
- Add the noodles last: Once the vegetables are cooked, add the pre-cooked noodles to the pan and stir-fry for a few minutes until they are heated through.
- Season to taste: Add soy sauce, ginger, garlic, and black pepper to taste. You can also add a pinch of red pepper flakes for a bit of heat.
Conclusion:
This Brussels sprouts and noodle stir-fry is a quick, easy, and flavorful meal that is perfect for a busy weeknight dinner. It's packed with healthy vegetables and protein, and it's sure to be a hit with the whole family. So next time you're looking for a healthy and delicious meal, give this stir-fry a try.
