I can't remember the last time I had brussel sprouts in a meal, this is so expensive here one of the reasons why. Thanks for this easy recipe!

I've never tasted this dish but bcz it's healthy, would love to try for sure. Making fresh Szechuan at home would add to the flavour.

I remember my mom making brussel sprouts when I was a kid, but I've actually never made them myself as an adult. I would love to try making this recipe sometime. Thanks for sharing.
