In large wok, heat bacon over medium heat until fat covers the bottom of pan, 2-3 minutes.

Add Brussels sprouts and stir-fry until they are bright green, 2-3 minutes, stirring constantly.

Stir in shiitakes and scallions and stir-fry 3 minutes more.

Add sherry and soy sauce, raise heat to high, and cook 2 minutes longer, stirring often.

Stir in sesame oil and pepper flakes, and serve.
