STIR-FRIED BRUSSELS SPROUTS



Stir-Fried Brussels Sprouts image

Brussels sprouts caramelize to a deep, delicious brown while retaining a fresh bite in minutes when cooked on the stovetop. In this adaptation of wok stir-frying, the sprouts quickly sear in a single layer in a skillet, then steam through with a splash of water to tenderize their tough cores. Crushed garlic cloves release their aroma into the hot oil, but are in chunks big enough to not burn and get bitter. A final sprinkle of sugar, soy sauce and red-pepper flakes give the sprouts a nice balance of sweet, salty and spicy. You can eat this with other stir-fries and steamed rice or alongside any main dish. Leftovers, reheated or cold, can be tossed into grain bowls and salads.

Time 10m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

Neutral oil, such as grapeseed or canola oil
4 garlic cloves, smashed, then peeled
1 pound brussels sprouts, halved or quartered, if large
Salt and pepper
1/2 teaspoon granulated sugar
2 teaspoons soy sauce
Red-pepper flakes, to taste

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.

Tips:

  • Choose firm or extra-firm tofu. This will help the tofu hold its shape during cooking and prevent it from crumbling.
  • Press the tofu before cooking. This will help to remove excess water and make the tofu more flavorful.
  • Use a variety of vegetables. This will add color, flavor, and nutrients to your stir-fry.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan. This will prevent the vegetables from cooking evenly.
  • Cook the vegetables until they are tender-crisp. This will help them retain their nutrients and flavor.
  • Add the tofu to the pan last. This will help to prevent it from overcooking.
  • Use a flavorful sauce. This will help to bring all the flavors of the stir-fry together.
  • Serve the stir-fry over rice or noodles. This will help to make a complete meal.

Conclusion:

Tofu stir-fry with Brussels sprouts is a delicious and healthy meal that is easy to make. It is a great way to use up leftover tofu and vegetables, and it can be tailored to your own taste preferences. With a little planning and preparation, you can have a delicious and satisfying stir-fry on the table in no time.
