Brussel sprouts and shitake mushroom pair up with garlic and soy sauce to create a rich and addictive flavor combination that promises to win over the most adamant crucifer-hater. Finished with a drizzle of truffle oil, the rustic brussel sprout is elevated to an elegant side dish. —TasteFood

Absolutely delicious! I always make a recipe the first time around, according to the ingredients and instructions, and I was not disappointed at all.
The only difference was that I used 1 cup of chicken broth versus the 1/4 cup called for in the recipe; but that's ok, as it all evaporated, and added even more flavor as it reduced.
The soy sauce was a great addition; it added just enough salt, and he,led create this lovely glaze on the veggies.
Thank you for this recipe, as I will certainly make this again! ❤️

Made this last night for dinner, with a minor tweak -- substituting freshly grated parmesan cheese for the soy sauce and truffle oil. Just lovely, this recipe is a keeper.
