Stir-Fried Brussels Sprouts

1 lb. Brussels sprouts
1 Tbsp. canola oil
6 to 8 stalks green onion, cut into 1-inch lengths
2 slices fresh ginger
3/4 cup vegetable stock
1/4 cup slivered almonds
Salt to taste

Remove large outer leaves of Brussels sprouts and trim the bases. Slice about 5/8 inches thick. Heat oil in a wok or heavy frying pan. Saute green onion and ginger until onion begins to brown. Remove and discard ginger.

Reduce heat and stir in Brussels sprouts. Stir-fry for a few minutes. Add stock and cook over low heat 5 to 6 minutes or until the sprouts are nearly tender. Add salt, if necessary, then increase heat to reduce excess liquid. Spoon into a serving dish and garnish with slivered almonds. Makes 4 servings.
