Introduction

This is slightly spicy, but you can omit the red chili peppers and the chili paste for a milder version. A great way to disguise healthy Brussels sprouts, if you're not a big fan but want to benefit from their nutritional qualities. I like to make this with basmati rice, but it could be made with any rice. This is slightly spicy, but you can omit the red chili peppers and the chili paste for a milder version.
