Fried Millet with Brussels Sprouts

Recipe Description

I really love this Fried Millet with Brussels Sprouts as an alternative to fried rice. I use all my favorite fried rice ingredients. The only thing I change is that I substitute millet for rice. Millet is a high protein, healthy whole grain which tastes delicious.

In this recipe I start by sautéing the Brussels sprouts and garlic in olive oil. I add the millet, soy sauce and rice wine vinegar. Just before the end of the cooking process, I create a well in the center of the fried millet and I crack in two eggs. I wait until the eggs are almost set before stirring them through the millet. I serve this with sesame seeds.

To make my Fried Millet with Brussels Sprouts, you will need the following ingredients:

Man, this Fried Millet with Brussels Sprouts is a total game changer! I whipped it up one lazy Saturday and it totally hit the spot. Instead of rice, I used millet, and it gave it this awesome nutty vibe. Tossed in some eggs at the end? Genius! Love how healthy it is too. Def gonna make this again!
