  • 1/2 cup water
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch
  • 1 1/2 tablespoons water

Instruction

  • Preheat oven to 425. For easy cleanup, line a baking sheet with aluminum foil.
  • Toss Brussels sprouts with 3 tablespoons oil. Spread out on prepared baking sheet. Lightly season with salt and pepper. Sauce will be salty so you don't need much.
  • Roast for 20 to 25 minutes, stirring halfway through.
  • In a pan, heat remaining oil over medium heat. Add ginger, garlic, and green onion. Cook for 1 minute.
  • Add red chile paste, chiles, soy sauce, 3 tablespoons sugar, rice vinegar, and 1/2 cup water to pan. In a small bowl, mix cornstarch with the 1 1/2 tablespoons water. Add to pan. Bring mixture to a simmer and cook until sauce thickens. Give sauce a taste and if it tastes salty and not very sweet, add the extra teaspoon of sugar.
  • Drizzle sauce over Brussels sprouts and sprinkle with peanuts.
