 This takeout inspired dish is a great comfort food meal perfect for
 Friday night.

 Preheat the oven to 425°F (218°C). Line a baking sheet with
 parchment paper, and spray with nonstick spray.

 Start the Brussels sprouts. In a small mixing bowl or liquid
 measuring cup, whisk together the milk and rice wine vinegar. Set
 aside for 2 to 3 minutes.

 Gather two medium mixing bowls. In the first bowl, add the flour and
 corn starch. Pour in the milk and vinegar mixture and the soy sauce.
 Whisk the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients until fully
 combined and you have a smooth batter. In the second bowl, add the
 panko breadcrumbs.

 Dip each Brussels sprout into the wet batter, coating completely,
 then put them into the panko breadcrumbs and coat completely. Place
 them on the prepared baking sheet. Repeat with all of the Brussels
 sprouts.

 Spray the tops of the Brussels sprouts with more nonstick spray. Bake
 for 15 minutes. Flip the Brussels sprouts with tongs, and bake for
 another 15 to 20 minutes, or until they are crispy on the outside and
 tender inside.

 While the Brussels sprouts bake, make the sauce. In a medium saucepan,
 whisk together the orange juice and corn starch, making sure there
 are no lumps of corn starch left. Add the vegetable broth, soy sauce,
 agave, rice wine vinegar, orange zest, garlic, and ginger. Whisk to
 combine.

 Heat the saucepan over medium heat, bring to a simmer, then reduce
 the heat to medium-low and simmer, whisking frequently, until the
 sauce thickens, 2 to 3 minutes. Add the sesame seeds and Thai
 chilies, if using, and simmer for another minute. Reduce the heat to
 low, and keep warm until the Brussels sprouts are done.

 Transfer the Brussels sprouts to a large bowl, pour the sauce over
 them, and gently toss to coat.

 Serve the Brussels sprouts over the rice, and top with green onions
 and more sesame seeds, if desired.
