In wok or large deep skillet over medium-high heat, heat peanut oil until almost smoking. Add ginger root; cook 2 minutes, or until tender and golden brown, but not burnt, stirring constantly. Add garlic; cook 1 minute more, or until golden and tender, but not burnt, stirring constantly.

Add Brussels sprouts; stir or toss rapidly to combine and season with kosher salt. Cook 3-4 minutes, or until the Brussels sprouts are tender and have wilted, stirring often. Add soy sauce mixture by placing the spout of the measuring cup at the inside edge of the wok and pouring the mixture down the cooking vessel. (This helps to heat the liquid before it meets the vegetables, ensuring that the temperature in the wok won't drop.) Cook 30 seconds more, or until the vegetables are coated and most of the liquid is absorbed. Add cashews, if using, and sesame seeds; toss to combine.
