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:
