ANNIE LAU'S GARLIC STIR-FRIED BRUSSELS SPROUTS

Steps:

• 1. Heat the olive oil in nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add the garlic and cook until fragrant and light brown. Add the Brussels sprouts and turn heat to medium-high. Season with salt and pepper.
• 2. Do not disturb for about a minute, so the edges caramelize, then toss. Leave for another minute or more. If the sprouts have not picked up enough golden color toss again. The more caramelization (browning) you get, the better the flavor (high heat is key!). Be careful not to overcook, though, as that releases that nasty sulfur odor that puts people off Brussels sprouts.
• 3. Taste and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper. Serve immediately.

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.

Strain sauce into a medium bowl; discard solids. Let cool.
• Pour oil into a large heavy pot to come 3" up sides. Fit pot with thermometer and heat oil over medium-high until thermometer registers 350°F. Working in batches, fry brussels sprouts until brown and crisp, about 3 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, transfer to paper towels to drain.
• Arrange brussels sprouts on a platter, drizzle with 1/4 cup sauce, and toss to coat, adding more sauce if needed. Serve with lemon wedges for squeezing over.
