Seasoned Brussels Sprouts: Easy, Roasted Brussels Sprouts with Umami Boost
Ingredients (for 3 servings):
500 g peeled Brussel sprouts (around 700 g unpeeled Brussel sprouts)
20 g sesame oil
50 g soy sauce
10 g rice vinegar
10 g brown sugar
100 g of boiling water
Spices
½ tsp. chili pepper
½ tsp. dry garlic
sesame seeds (optional)
How to make
1. Prepare Brussels sprouts. Remove any loose or damaged outer leaves. Trim the stem. Cut Brussels sprouts in half. If the Brussels sprouts are small, you can leave them whole. Rinse under running water. There is no need to dry them with a kitchen towel. We are adding water to a pan anyway.
2. Prepare all the ingredients. Measure spices, 20 g sesame oil, 50 g soy sauce, and 10 g rice vinegar.*
3. Use above-average cooking mode (on our stove, we use 7 out of 9).* Pour 20 g sesame oil into a hot frying pan, add 500 g peeled Brussels sprouts, and add 100 g of boiling water. Simmer under the lid for 7-8 minutes until the water evaporates.
4. Fry the Brussels sprouts for 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally.
5. Add 10 g brown sugar and fry for 2 minutes, stirring constantly.
6. Add ½ tsp. dry garlic and ½ tsp. chili pepper, stir.
7. Pour 50 g of soy sauce and 10 g of rice vinegar into the pan. Then simmer for 3-4 minutes until the liquid evaporates.
8. Sprinkle with sesame seeds.
Tips
*Prepare all the ingredients in advance. The cooking time of seasoned Brussels sprouts is very short. And we recommend having all ingredients ready before starting to cook them.
*Keep the cooking mode set to above average all the time.
