- Clean, then cut the sprouts in half. Cut the pomegranate in half, put half of the seeds aside.
- Blend the other half into a thick puree, then press the juice through a tea strainer.
- Heat the oil in a large frying pan.
- Put the sprouts in the pan, cut-side down, and turn down the heat. Put a lid on and cook for about 5 minutes. Turn them over then add the soy sauce, pomegranate juice, rice vinegar and a dash of water. Let it sizzle, then sauté again for 5 minutes or until tender.
