How to Make Asian Chicken With Brussels Sprouts
- Whisk together 1/4 cup soy sauce, 2 tablespoons rice vinegar, 1 tablespoon sugar, 1 tablespoon grated ginger, and 1/2 cup chicken broth in a medium saucepan. Bring to a boil.
- Add 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken thighs (cut into 1-inch pieces) and 1/2 cup sliced carrots. Reduce heat and simmer for 6 minutes.
- Stir in 1 pound Brussels sprouts (trimmed and halved). Continue to cook until the chicken is cooked through and the Brussels sprouts are tender-crisp, about 2-3 minutes more.
- Divide the chicken and Brussels sprouts mixture among bowls. Garnish with 2 tablespoons chopped scallions.
- (Optional) Drizzle with 1 teaspoon toasted sesame oil for an extra layer of flavor before serving.
Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor
Chef's secret: layers of flavor make a dish truly memorable! Consider what a little extra something could bring – perhaps a touch of acidity like a good vinegar or citrus zest, a hint of smokiness from paprika, a bit of umami from mushrooms or soy sauce, or a sprinkle of toasted nuts for texture. Experiment and taste as you go!
