Pan-Roasted Brussels Sprouts with Southeast Asian Flavors Recipe

I think of Brussels sprouts as the little league versions of cabbage. Well, at least they are small like little leaguers, but a bit more manageable than a team of 8-year-olds. On second thought, make that a lot more manageable than a team of 8-year-olds. Anyway, Brussels sprouts are also tender, with a slight mustardy bite. They caramelize beautifully, developing sweetness. Though they are little critters, they have the gutsiness to stand up to a medley of Southeast Ssian flavors.
