CHILI & GARLIC STIR-FRIED BRUSSELS SPROUTS WITH ASPARAGUS
If asparagus is not readily available, you can substitute them for green beans, sliced carrots or even bell peppers! For a vegan version, use 6 teaspoons of soy sauce. Taste the vegetables and add a pinch of salt if you want more seasoning. Adapted from Andy Ricker's Pok Pok.

Steps:
- Trim the bottoms of the Brussels sprouts. If you are working with large Brussels sprouts, cut them into quarters. For smaller ones, cut them in half. Rinse the Brussels sprouts once they are cut.
- Snap off the ends of the asparagus. Rinse them under water.
- In a small bowl, mix the fish sauce, soy sauce, brown sugar, potato starch and water. Set that aside.
- Heat the oil in a wok or large sauté pan over high heat. When the pan is hot, add the garlic and chili peppers and stir them immediately. Let them cook for 15 to 20 seconds so that they season the oil.
- Add the Brussels sprouts and cook them for 2 minutes, stirring frequently. If it looks like the Brussels sprouts are burning at the edges, add a splash of water (about 1 to 2 tablespoons) to the pan.
- Add the asparagus and cook for another 2 minutes, stirring frequently. Again, if the vegetables are burning, add a splash of water.
- Give the fish sauce mixture a quick stir and add the mixture to the wok. The sauce should thicken a little. Stir to distribute the sauce on the vegetables. Cook for another 1 to 2 minutes.
- Turn off the heat and plate the vegetables. Serve with rice or your favorite grains!

STIR-FRIED BRUSSELS SPROUTS WITH SHALLOTS AND SHERRY
This recipe came to The Times in 2011 from Grace Young, the chef and cookbook writer. Make sure the Brussels sprouts are dry before they are put into the pan, or the liquid will turn the stir-fry into a braise. This dish can be made ahead of time, all the better for a Thanksgiving feast or a weeknight dinner.

Steps:
- Trim the ends off the brussels sprouts and remove and discard any discolored outer leaves. Shave a scant 1/4-inch-thick slice off one side of each sprout and put cut side down. Cut scant 1/4-inch-thick slices to make about 6 cups. Transfer the brussels sprouts to the colander of a salad spinner and rinse under cold water. Put the colander into the salad spinner and spin to remove excess water. Combine the sherry and soy sauce in a cup. Combine the salt and pepper in a small dish.
- Heat a 14-inch flat-bottomed wok or a 12-inch skillet over high heat until a drop of water evaporates within a second or two when added to the pan. Swirl in the oil by adding it to the sides of the pan and swirling the pan, then add the shallots and garlic and stir-fry no more than 10 seconds, until the aromatics are fragrant. Add the brussels sprouts, sprinkle with the salt mixture and stir-fry for 1 minute, just until the brussels sprouts are bright green. Swirl the sherry mixture into the wok, cover and cook 1 minute, until almost all the liquid has evaporated. Uncover and stir-fry for 2 minutes, until the Brussels sprouts are crisp-tender and the liquid has just evaporated. Sprinkle with the pine nuts.

STIR-FRIED BRUSSELS SPROUTS WITH GARLIC AND CHILE
This recipe was featured in Bon Appétit magazine's "Thai Food 101" story in January 2012. We really enjoyed preparing this healthy meal at home. Highly nutritious, and because of the way it's prepared your kitchen won't be overwhelmed with smell of brussels sprouts. According to Bon Appétit, the key to this dish's success is controlling the heat on the pan from beginning to end. You can increase the spiciness of your stir-fry by adding more chiles.

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.
