**Common Ingredients and Substitutions**

- **Brussels sprouts:** Choose firm and brightly colored sprouts for optimal flavor and texture. If unavailable, broccoli florets or green cabbage make suitable substitutes.

- **Kale:** Curly kale is the traditional choice for this recipe, but feel free to experiment with other varieties like Lacinato kale or baby kale.

- **Garlic and Lemon:** This classic combination adds a delightful savory and citrusy touch to the sauté. If you prefer a milder flavor, reduce the amount of garlic or substitute lemon zest for lemon juice.

- **Ginger, Soy Sauce, and Sesame Oil:** These ingredients form the backbone of the Asian-inspired stir-fry. For a gluten-free option, use tamari instead of soy sauce. If you don't have sesame oil, a drizzle of olive oil or avocado oil works well.

**Recipe Tips and Variations**

- For a crispy texture, roast the Brussels sprouts and kale before adding them to the sauté or stir-fry.

- Add a touch of heat with a pinch of red pepper flakes or a drizzle of Sriracha sauce.

- Experiment with different vegetables like broccoli, carrots, or bell peppers to create a colorful and flavorful medley.

- Enhance the Asian-inspired stir-fry with the addition of tofu, tempeh, or your favorite protein for a complete meal.
