Tips:
- Select Fresh Brussels Sprouts: Choose firm, compact Brussels sprouts with bright green leaves. Avoid any sprouts that are yellowed or have brown spots.
- Properly Trim the Brussels Sprouts: Use a sharp knife to trim the stem end of each Brussels sprout. Remove any wilted or discolored outer leaves.
- Shred or Shave the Brussels Sprouts: Use a food processor fitted with the shredding disc or a mandoline to thinly shred or shave the Brussels sprouts. Alternatively, you can use a sharp knife to finely chop them.
- Blanch the Brussels Sprouts (Optional): Blanching helps retain the vibrant green color and slightly softens the Brussels sprouts. To blanch, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the shredded Brussels sprouts and blanch for 1-2 minutes or until they turn bright green. Immediately transfer them to an ice bath to stop the cooking process.
- Use High-Quality Scallions: Choose fresh scallions with crisp, green tops and firm white bulbs. Trim the root ends and thinly slice the scallions, including both the white and green parts.
- Season Generously: Don't be afraid to season the dish well with salt and pepper. You can also add other herbs and spices, such as garlic powder, onion powder, or red pepper flakes, to taste.
