Stir-Fry Greens and Sprouts With Simple Candy-And-Bitter Sauce

Sugar, lime juice, soy sauce, and sesame oil are widespread components in lots of Asian-style sauces, notably for stir-fries. However these 4 easy components make an awesome sweet-and-sour mixture all their very own Nước tương.

The amount of every is small since you need the greens to be frivolously dressed, not “saucy.” A couple of minutes within the wok with just a little peanut oil is all of the cooking wanted. Toss with sauce and serve up one of many best, most nutritious and flavorful aspect dishes you’ll be able to convey to the table.

Observe: Slicing the greens very thinly ensures quick, even cooking in little or no time. Give the Brussels sprouts a head begin, then throw every thing else in collectively.

  • 1 tbsp soy sauce
  • 2 tsp white sugar
  • 1 tsp toasted sesame oil
