Instructions

Step 1: Heat 2 tablespoons vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add 1 pound halved Brussels sprouts cut side down and cook for 5-6 minutes until edges are golden and crispy.
Step 2: Stir in 3 minced garlic cloves and sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant.
Step 3: In a small bowl, whisk 2 tablespoons white miso paste, 1 tablespoon soy sauce, 2 teaspoons sesame oil, and 3 tablespoons water to create a sauce.
