If I need to choose a vegetable to eat everyday.. it will be Brussel Sprouts! 😀
I love brussel sprouts so much! It resembles little cabbages right? hehe.. well.. don’t be taken aback by the weird appearance of these veges, they are highly nutritious! They can lower cholesterol and is also said to prevent cancer! Brussel sprouts are so expensive in Singapore.. I am really glad that we could get these cheaper in the US. Btw, BH dislike brussel sprouts.. usually, I eat everything myself.. haha
There are many ways to cook brussel sprouts.. but this is my fave way.. it is easy, fast and flavourful 🙂
Brussel Sprouts* in Garlic Oil
*This recipe by Noobcook is very versatile, it’s not restricted to Brussel Sprouts, you can use it for other vegs!
(A) Garlic Oil
– 3 tbsp vegetable oil
– 8 cloves garlic, finely chopped
(B) Oyster Sauce Mixture
– 1 tbsp oyster sauce
– 1 tbsp hot water
– 1/2 tsp sugar
(C) Vegetables
– 500 grams of Brussel Sprouts
Directions
(A) Garlic Oil
1. Heat up vegetable oil in a wok. When the temperature is hot enough (add a tiny piece of chopped garlic into the oil to test – if it starts to sizzle gently, the oil is ready), add the chopped garlic and using a spatula, distribute the garlic evenly so that they are fully coated in the oil.
2) Let the garlic cook in the oil, and turn off the flame once the garlic starts to turn light* golden brown.
3) Pour the garlic and oil in a small bowl. The garlic will continue to cook for a little longer in the bowl of hot oil until it turns a lovely golden brown.
* Cooking Note: You need to turn off the flame once it turns light golden brown. If you turn off the flame when the garlic turned a “just right” golden brown, they will cook further in the hot oil and become burnt/dark brown.
(B) Oyster Sauce Mixture
1. In a small bowl, stir using a spoon, all the ingredients in (B) till well mixed.
(C) Vegetables
1. Heat a large pot of water with 1/2 tbsp vegetable oil added.
2. When the water is boiling, add vegs and blanch for approximately 30 seconds (Brussel Sprouts will take longer, about 3-5 mins).
3. Drain vegetables. Assemble on a serving plate and drizzle (A) garlic oil and (B) oyster sauce mixture over the vegetables.
