Stir Fried Brussels Slaw Recipes

STIR-FRIED BRUSSELS SPROUTS

Steps:

• Cook one 12-ounce bag shaved Brussels sprouts, 4 ounces sliced mushrooms and a pinch of salt in a skillet with vegetable oil until crisp-tender, 5 to 6 minutes, stirring halfway through. Push the vegetables to one side. Add 1 teaspoon oil and 1 minced garlic clove; cook 20 seconds. Add 3 tablespoons Asian sweet chili sauce and 1 tablespoon fish sauce; toss. Top with chopped cilantro and mint.

LEMONY BRUSSELS SPROUT SLAW

Steps:

• To make the dressing, whisk together the mayonnaise, mustard, lemon juice and zest in a small bowl. Add the oil a little at a time, whisking all the while.
• Combine the brussels sprouts, apple and shallot and toss with the dressing. Sprinkle with salt and plenty of black pepper and refrigerate until ready to serve. (It's best to let the slaw rest for an hour or so to allow the flavors to mellow; the sprouts will also soften a bit and exude some juice. You can let it sit longer, for up to 24 hours, if you like. Drain the slaw before continuing.) Just before serving, toss with the mint.

STIR-FRIED BRUSSELS SPROUTS

Steps:

• Heat a large skillet over high for a few minutes. Drops of water should skitter across the surface then evaporate quickly. Set the pan lid and 1/2 cup water next to the stove. Add enough oil to coat the bottom of the pan (3 to 4 tablespoons), then add garlic and sizzle until fragrant and wisps of smoke rise from the oil, about 15 seconds. Add brussels sprouts, sprinkle with salt and pepper, and stir to coat with oil. Spread in an even layer, carefully add water and immediately cover.
• Cook without stirring until the water has almost completely evaporated, 4 to 6 minutes. After silent simmering, there will be loud popping sounds that quiet to a crackle.
• Uncover, sprinkle with sugar and soy sauce, and stir for 1 minute. Sprinkle with red-pepper flakes and serve.

BRUSSELS SPROUTS IN SOY SAUCE

Steps:

• Trim Brussels sprouts, removing excess stem and old or damaged outer leaves. Cut sprouts in half length-wise.
• Heat olive oil in large skillet over high heat and add sprouts. Stir fry 1 to 2 minutes until sprouts have lightly browned.
• Turn heat to low, allow pan to cool for a minute, and then add soy sauce. Add a small amount of water only if all liquid boils off immediately. Cover immediately. Ensure there is enough liquid in the pan to produce some steam to help cook the sprouts.
• Allow to steam over low heat until done. Typically 10 minutes, but time will vary depending on size of sprouts and whether you like them al dente or soft.

SUPERB STIR FRIED BRUSSELS SPROUTS

Steps:

• Heat your wok over high heat until very hot, add the olive oil and swirl around once.
• Now add the garlic and stir fry for a few seconds to scent the oil.
• Immediately tip in the sprouts (before the garlic has a chance to burn) and stir fry constantly for about 4 minutes until the sprouts are cooked-you are aiming for tenderness with a residual crunch.
• Stir in the sun dried tomato strips, the lemon zest and lemon juice to taste; then stir fry for a final 30 seconds or so.
• Taste and season with salt and pepper if necessary.
