Ingredients

3 ½ tbsp sesame seed

1 tbsp low-sodium soy sauce

1 tbsp mirin or Sherry

pinch of sugar

500g Brussels sprout , roughly chopped

1 red chilli , shredded (optional)

Method

Toast the sesame seeds and, while they are still hot, use a pestle and mortar to grind all but ½ tbsp until almost powder-like. Mix the soy and mirin into the crushed seeds, along with the sugar and 2 tsp water.

Heat a large wok, then stir-fry the sprouts with a splash of water until softened but still crunchy. Stir through the sesame paste, then scatter with the remaining sesame seeds and the chilli, if using.
