1. In a steamer set over boiling water, steam the Brussels sprouts, covered, for 6 minutes, or until they are just tender. Pat dry with paper towels.
2. Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a 12 inch cast iron skillet over medium-high heat. Add the sausage and cook, stirring occasionally, until browned, about 2 minutes. Add the ginger and cook, stirring occasionally, until soft, about 2 minutes. Increase heat to high and add the remaining oil and the reserved Brussels sprouts; stir fry until Brussels sprouts are lightly browned and tender, about 3 minutes.
