If you follow me on instagram, this recipe may look vaguely familiar. I posted a paired down version that I had thrown together for lunch from two other recipes I had worked on the same week. Since then, I’ve eaten a version of this bowl nearly every day. This version has been slightly gussied up thanks to the addition of hard boiled eggs (a staple in my kitchen right now) and a bit of ginger/honey thrown in with the soy sauce.
These are my favorite types of meals and a good reminder that ‘leftovers’ do not always have to mean a full meal. I love having leftover grains and leftover vegetables to combine into something brand new (helps keep the ‘leftovers’ feeling exciting!) I recommend making a big batch of grains and hard boiled eggs ahead of time, then you always have a meal!

PinIngredients
- 3 teaspoons olive oil
- 2 cups shredded Brussels sprouts
- 1/3 cup sliced shallot
- 2 cups cooked grain (pearl couscous, quinoa, or kamut- see note)
- 1/4 cup soy sauce
- 2 teaspoons honey
- 1 teaspoon minced ginger
- 2 hardboiled eggs
- 1 tablespoon toasted sesame seeds
Instructions
- In a large pan, heat olive oil over medium-low heat. Add the brussels sprouts and shallots then cook, stirring occasionally, until tender, 8 to 10 minutes.
- Add in the previous cooked (or just cooked) grain and continue to cook for another minute or two. Whisk together the soy sauce, honey, and ginger in a small bowl then add to the Brussels sprout mixture.
- Divide the brussels sprout mixture into two bowls. Slice the eggs and finish with a sprinkle of sesame seeds.
Notes
I prefer couscous or quinoa if I’m cooking the grain along side the brussels sprouts. However, leftover longer cooking grains (from previous meals) are great too!
I’ll also often just use the soy sauce and leave out the ginger/honey.

Looks Yummy! Do you add the sauce while it’s cooking or after it’s served in bowls?
Thanks

Ah, I didn’t finish my thought. I added it after I cooked, before I placed it in the bowls!

This is exactly the kind of simple combination I like best for easy dinners and lunches. Brussels sprouts and eggs sound perfect together.

I just made this with quinoa for dinner! Very easy, very quick, and very delicious. I personally am not a fan of spouts, but I substituted in broccoli and cauliflower and it was still very good 🙂

I loathe going to the grocery store and will put off going until I have exhausted all possibilities in my pantry/refrigerator. Today I had Eggs, Brussels Sprouts, and Israeli Couscous and not much else. I Googled those two things + vegetarian and came across this recipe. I couldn’t believe I found a recipe incorporating all of these ingredients. And did it wow me! I’ve never had shredded or sauteed Brussels Sprouts and they were delicious. I didn’t have fresh ginger so I substituted a few dashes of ground ginger. This was so delicious. I will definitely be making this again! Can’t wait to try more of your recipes.

I recently got this recipe in a newsletter and make it often. I sometimes skip the frying pan and fix the dish in the microwave. Less cleanup on work nights.
