I know, I know, I put Brussel Sprouts in everything. Well, until someone invents an even more awesome vegetable*, I will continue to overuse them. Even fried rice is not safe from that little cruciferous flavor bomb! Not that anyone is complaining.
This version is fresh and aromatic with the addition of a million herbs and scallions. And pinenuts are a surprisingly tantalizing addition to fried rice! A small handful goes a long way to adding another decadent layer of flavor. You can top with some gingery tofu or something, if you’d like it to be an entree. Or you can toss in some browned tofu. Or simply serve in addition to a bigger Thai-inspired spread. Or just be like “It’s fried rice for dinner/breakfast/elevensies!” and eat the whole darn thing.
*Maybe a more awesome vegetable has been invented? Google “lollipop kale.” OMG.
Notes
~If you’re not feeling the pinenuts, try some roasted cashews!
~The agave is only for the very very slightest hint of sweetness to elevate the flavors. If you don’t have any, dissolve some sugar in the soy sauce and that’ll work just fine!
Ingredients
12 oz Brussel sprouts, trimmed and quartered
1 large carrot, peeled and sliced into thin half-moons
1/4 cup pine nuts
1/4 cup fresh basil
1 cup loosely packed fresh cilantro
1 cup finely chopped scallions
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 tablespoon fresh minced ginger
4 cups cooked and cooled jasmine rice [see note]
1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes
2 tablespoons soy sauce or tamari
1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
1/2 teaspoon agaveSriracha to serve
Directions
Add the Brussels mixture back to the pan, and drizzle in the soy sauce, lime juice and agave. Cook for 3 more minutes or so, until rice is lightly browned. Taste for salt. Serve with plenty of Sriracha!
I’ve been meaning to come back to this recipe and thank you! It’s soo delicious! My boyfriend calls is majestic rice. I’m always surprised every time I eat it how yummy it is so thanks 🙂
I tried tempeh the other day and YUCK! Suggestions on how to make it more YUMMY! And I tried curry flavored Seitan and it was good but not very curry in flavor. I am new to this whole vegetarian thing. Thanks for any and all suggestions, tips, and ideas! thanks
I just made this recipe with cauliflower rather than brussel sprouts, because that’s what I had. I had a big, fat head of purple cauliflower from the garden that needed to be used. It was 90 degrees, so to minimize kitchen heat I roasted the cauliflower on the grill, but outside of that I used the recipe exactly as-is. Everyone (including my dyed-in-the-wool meateater 14 year old son) like it a lot. It was far better than any fried rice I had previously made just winging it with my moderate knowledge of cooking. The fresh herbs and lime juice sealed it. 4 stars! Thank you for providing the foundation for a great family meal.
Mmmm delicious!
Any substitution suggestions for those of us to whom cilantro is not an option? Sorry, one of those rare folks to whom cilantro tastes like soap and suffering.
This was better than any meal at any Thai restaurant I’ve ever been to!
Um, yeah, that looks super duper delicious. With tofu? Yes, please! 🙂
Will this recipe not turn out great without the cilantro? A lot of us don’t care for the noxious weed.
A professional cookbook writer who doesn’t know it’s Brussels, not Brussel? How?
Looks good
Thanks for your awesome post. I’m impressed after reading this post. It’s really a good things that is you share with us.
OMG I will never look at this recipe again and not think about selling a kidney.
Your site is very nice. I like this site and came back again visit.
My kids used to hate vegetables especially brussel sprouts. Now thanks to your wonderful recipe things are starting to change in our household. Thank you again. Looking forward to more wonderful ideas.
Normally, my kids don’t really like brussel sprouts, but i found out that they can “kinda” tolerate them in this dish! Good for me since i’m addicted to fried rice after traveling to southeast asia before my pregnancy. I don’t use Siracha though but a bit of green thai curry paste!
Wow, this looks amazing. Thank you for posting. Please continue the great work.
Holy crap,I made this tonight and it was orgasmic (no exaggeration here) Definitely a once every couple of weeks meal,my favorite part was that I fed it to my husband and he didn’t even realize it didn’t have any meat even after his second plate 😀 I’m so so excited for mail to come tomorrow, I have both cookbooks coming my way!
OMG, this was great, super delicious. Thank You Isa
Can you substitute maple syrup or honey or stevia for the agave. That’s alls I got. 🙂

Very good info. Lucky me I recently found your blog by
chance (stumbleupon). I’ve book-marked it for later!
With havin so much written content do you ever run into any
issues of plagorism or copyright infringement? My site
has a lot of completely unique content I’ve either authored
myself or outsourced but it looks like a lot of it is popping it up all over the web without my authorization. Do you know any methods to help protect against content from
being stolen? I’d definitely appreciate it.
Hiya! Quick question that’s totally off topic.
Do you know how to make your site mobile friendly? My web site looks weird when browsing
from my iphone4. I’m trying to find a template or plugin that
might be able to fix this problem. If you have any recommendations,
please share. Cheers!
Thanks , I’ve recently been looking for info about this topic
for a while and yours is the best I have found out so far.
But, what concerning the bottom line? Are you positive in regards to the source?
First off I would like to say terrific blog!
I had a quick question in which I’d like to ask if you do not mind.
I was interested to find out how you center yourself and clear your head prior to writing.
I’ve had a tough time clearing my thoughts in getting my ideas out there.
I truly do take pleasure in writing however it just seems like the first 10 to 15
minutes tend to be wasted just trying to figure out how to begin. Any ideas or hints?
Appreciate it!

Hi mates, its enormous paragraph on the topic of educationand completely defined, keep it up all the time.
If though you can rule out both your lifestyle and environment then you may have the common problem
that is your body is lacking in levels of the natural sleep hormone melatonin. Those who are experiencing any kind
of hearing problem know that it can be not only distracting, but debilitating while
trying to go about your everyday life. Your audiologist can adjust them for you so
as to make their sound comfortable to you and
then they can gradually add more sound with time.
I knew exactly what to do with stack sizes and ranges.
What’s up, this weekend is pleasant for me, since this time i am
reading this impressive informative paragraph here at my house.

乳輪が茶色くなってしまう理由はメラニンという色素が関係していると考えられています。メラノサイトというところから出てきてお肌を守る大事な役目を担っているけれど、日焼けをしたり摩擦などの外部刺激があると、それに反応して皮膚を茶色くしてしまうのだとか。なので乳輪の黒ずみ対策をするにはメラニンの生成を抑制するのがポイントになります。そしてメラニンの生成を抑制してくれる効果があるのがリン酸アスコルビルMgという成分なんですね。リン酸アスコルビルMgにはマグネシウムなどが含まれているので浸透率が良く、角質層を超えてメラニン生成の理由となるメラノサイトまで届くため、美白効果やシミなどの老化現象の防止効果も期待されています。
Currently it seems like Drupal is the top blogging platform out there right now.
(from what I’ve read) Is that what you’re using on your blog?
Wonderful blog! Do you have any tips for aspiring writers?
I’m planning to start my own site soon but I’m a little lost on everything.
Would you suggest starting with a free platform like WordPress or go
for a paid option? There are so many options out there that I’m completely overwhelmed ..
Any ideas? Appreciate it!
