Ingredients
Instructions
-
In a small bowl, whisk together the fish sauce, soy sauce, rice vinegar, honey, minced garlic, and chili flakes. Set aside.
-
Wash the Brussels sprouts thoroughly under cold water and trim off the ends. Remove any yellowed outer leaves and cut the Brussels sprouts in half lengthwise.
-
Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Place the Brussels sprouts cut side down in the pan, sprinkle with salt and pepper to taste, and cook for 5-7 minutes until browned and caramelized.
-
Pour enough oil into a separate frying pan to a depth of about 1 inch and heat over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (180°C).
-
Place the flour in a shallow dish. Dredge each Brussels sprout half in the flour until lightly coated.
-
Carefully add the floured Brussels sprouts to the hot oil, frying in batches to avoid overcrowding. Fry for 3-4 minutes, turning occasionally, until golden brown and crisp.
-
Use a slotted spoon to transfer the fried Brussels sprouts to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
-
Serve the fried Brussels sprouts hot, drizzled with Mom's Chili Fish Sauce or use the sauce as a dip.
