Wok Stir-Fried Brussels Sprouts
Perfectly cooked Brussels sprouts from your wok in a fraction of the time that it would take to oven-roast them. Buttery, garlicky and slightly caramelized on the outside yet tender on the inside.
Ingredients
- 4 tablespoons butter (½ stick)
- 1 ½ pounds Brussels sprouts trimmed, cut into halves
- ½ cup water
- salt and pepper to taste
- garlic powder to taste
Instructions
- Melt the butter in your wok over medium-high heat.
- Add the Brussels sprouts, then stir-fry to coat the sprouts in the melted butter.
- Pour the water over the sprouts.
- Stir occasionally, allowing the water to evaporate. The water will help steam the brussels sprouts so that they are perfectly cooked on the inside.
- When you can see that the water has evaporated (about 8 – 10 minutes), spread the brussels sprouts into a single layer in your wok, then allow the sprouts to sit untouched for about a minute.
- Stir, then let it sit untouched for another minute to caramelize even more of the sprouts.
- Add salt, pepper, and garlic powder to taste.
- Serve with your favorite main dish. Enjoy!
Notes
Tip: You can also add carrots (cut into approximately ¼ inch pieces) as they will have the same cooking time as the Brussels sprouts and contribute so much flavor!
