These Brussels sprouts were a little bland for my taste. I think I'll add some garlic and chili flakes next time.

I'm allergic to water chestnuts, so I substituted them with chopped celery. The dish still turned out great!

This recipe is a great way to use up leftover Brussels sprouts. I added some chopped walnuts for extra crunch.

These Brussels sprouts were a bit too sweet for my taste. I think I would have preferred them without the water chestnuts.
