Spicy Asian Chicken With Brussels Sprouts
Con Poulos
How to Make It
Step 1
Cook the rice according to the package directions.
Step 2
Meanwhile, in a large bowl, beat the egg. Place the cornstarch in another large bowl. Add the chicken to the egg and toss to coat. A few pieces at a time, lift the chicken out of the egg and coat in the cornstarch, tapping off the excess; transfer to a plate.
Step 3
Heat 2 tablespoons of the oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. In 2 batches, cook the chicken, turning occasionally, until golden, 3 to 5 minutes (add more oil for the second batch, if necessary); transfer to a plate.
Step 4
Heat the remaining 1 tablespoon of oil in the skillet over medium heat. Add the Brussels sprouts, ginger, and garlic and cook, tossing occasionally, until beginning to soften, 2 to 3 minutes. Add the soy sauce, vinegar, sugar, and ¾ cup water and cook, stirring occasionally, until the Brussels sprouts are crisp-tender and the liquid begins to thicken, 2 to 3 minutes more.
Step 5
Return the chicken to the skillet, along with the chili, and cook, tossing, until heated through, about 1 minute. Add the sesame oil and scallions. Serve over the rice and sprinkle with the peanuts.

I absolutely loved this recipe! It is a new favorite among my entire family who usually can't agree on a meal. I did substitute asparagus for the brussel sprouts simply because I cannot stand brussel sprouts. After the first time I made it everyone wished there was more "sauce" to coat the rice (we serve it in bowls) so I now add 50% more of the soy sauce, vinegar, sugar and water in step 4.

WenDee---I used 1 red jalepeno. I'm not sure if it's the same thing as a red chili pepper but it gave it a little added heat especially since I used some of the seeds.
I think people may be overlooking this recipe because of the brussel sprouts. I didn't think I liked brussel sprouts before this recipe and it's completely changed my mind about this little gem of a veggie!

Great recipe! Will definitely be making this again! And I'll definitely try slicing the brussel sprouts in the food processor instead of by hand next time!
