This Vietnamese-inspired dish incorporates two essential condiments: hot chile paste and fish sauce. The chile paste gives the pork a great kick, while the salty, pungent fish sauce brings out the umami in the Brussels sprouts. Fish sauce is a wonderful way to add depth of flavor to a dish. The savory kick will vary from brand to brand, so taste as you go.
