Brussels Sprouts with Fish Sauce recipe – 143 calories

I’ve never been a big fan of Brussels sprouts, mostly because of their sulfurous odor when cooked. I recently found how to fix this problem: the sprouts should never be steamed of boiled for more than 7 minutes.

Brussels Sprouts with Fish Sauce recipe – 143 calories

Ingredients:

1 lbs Brussels sprouts, trimmed and halved lengthwise

3 tablespoons oil

3 tablespoons fish sauce

salt, to taste

Preparation:

1. Bring a heavily salted pot of water to a boil.

2. Parboil the Brussels sprouts until just tender (for about 3-5 minutes).

3. Drain, flush with cold water, and drain well. Set aside.

4. Heat the oil in a medium skillet over medium heat.

5. Add the Brussels sprouts, putting them facing down. Increase the heat to medium-high or high.

6. Let the sprouts cook for about 2 minutes, until they are light golden on their cut side. Turn them and continue cooking for a little longer to heat them through.

7. Add 3 tablespoons of fish sauce, turning the sprouts so they absorb the seasoning.

8. Transfer to a serving bowl and enjoy immediately.
