Hoisin Glazed Brussels Sprouts

1 . Stage

Whisk together the seasoned rice vinegar, soy sauce, and hoisin sauce: in a small bowl, set aside.

2 . Stage

Pre-steam the brussels sprouts: Place a steamer rack in a medium pot, add an inch of water. Heat the water to a boil, then add the brussels sprouts to the pot. Cover the pot and steam the brussels sprouts for 5 minutes. Remove the sprouts from the pot and lay them out on a baking sheet to cool while you cook the onions in the next step.

3 . Stage

Sauté the onions: Heat the peanut oil in a wok or large sauté pan over high heat on your most powerful burner until the surface of the oil shimmers. Add the sliced onions and toss to coat with the oil. Sear over high heat until the edges of the onion slices begin to brown, about 4-5 minutes.

4 . Stage

Add the ginger, garlic and brussels sprouts to the pan: and toss to combine. Stir-fry for 2 minutes, or until the brussels sprouts begin to brown.

5 . Stage

Add the rice vinegar, soy sauce and hoisin sauce mixture: to the sprouts and toss to combine. Stir-fry for a minute or two (watch the sides of the pan and turn off the heat if you see any of the sauce scorch on the side of the pan). Drizzle with sesame oil and add salt to taste. Serve at once.
