Gingered Brussels Sprouts - cooking recipe

Ingredients

10 ounces Brussels sprouts (fresh or frozen)
1 cup water or 1 cup fat free broth
1 tablespoon low sodium soy sauce
2 teaspoons minced fresh ginger
2 minced garlic cloves
1/2 - 1 teaspoon Splenda granular or 1/2-1 teaspoon sugar
1/8 teaspoon red pepper flakes

Preparation

If you are using fresh brussels sprouts, trim off bottoms and remove any loose or discolored outer leaves. Rinse in warm water and drain.
In a heavy saucepan, combine everything save the sprouts and bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Reduce heat and let the liquid simmer for 2-3 minutes. Add sprouts, cover and cook until the vegetables are crisp-tender. For fresh sprouts, cooking time is about 10 minutes. For frozen, it will be a minute or so less.
