Raise your hand if you love Chinese food? I DO! Since I can remember (the ripe age of 4) I remember bellying up to plates full of Chinese food! I was obsessed with the cuisine and most mornings when my mom would ask me what I wanted for breakfast my response was Chinese food! Which is not like your typical 4 year old. Not much has changed since I was first introduced–you can definitely still find me eating Chinese food for breakfast! When my husband, Jon, asks where to eat out you’ll frequently hear me reply P.F. Changs! They have a new Fall Seasonal Menu that will rock your Chinese food eating socks out!
I decided to try to challenge myself and I created a dish using both Brussels Sprouts and Scallions! My recipe for Sweet Chili Brussels Sprouts is the perfect Asian side dish. It has a great mix of sweet and spicy flavors! I love Brussels sprouts and I love sweet chili sauce so for me this was a match made in heaven!
Katie Original Recipe
P.F. Changs – Sweet Chili Brussels Sprouts

- 1 tbsp Sesame Oil
- ¼ cup Sweet Chili Sauce
- Sliced Scallions
Instructions
- Rince Brussels sprouts, slice in half. Boil for 15 minutes until just tender.
- Drain the Brussels sprouts, add the sesame oil back to the pot, add in Brussels sprouts and sauté for 3 minutes on medium heat. Then add in ¼ sweet chili sauce. Mix well and cook for one additional minute. Plate and top with sliced scallions.
My husband constantly raves about PF Chang’s Brussel Sprouts. I thought with his birthday approaching and brussel sprouts in the frig, I’d take this recipe for a test drive. I’m thrilled that I did because he couldn’t stop praising the recipe and our daughter too loved them! I didn’t have sweet chili oil on hand so I Googled a recipe on how to make my own, and that too came out awesome. I could also control the chili heat scale and prepare it while the sprouts were boiling. So thank you for this easy and delicious knockoff! Will make it again and again.
Kim, thank you so much for taking the time to make this recipe and leave a review! I’m so happy your family enjoyed this recipe!

OMG, Katie! I’ll go for the Vietnamese Noodles with Steak and Shrimps. I love going to P.F. Chang’s and believe or not, haven’t been there with Alex yet. I normally go after one of my tedious cancer studies and that eating there is like comfort food for me. Can’t wait to go and try this dish with him and the girls!
