Discard old, stale, conventional and boring ways of blanching brussels sprouts. There is no need to precook the brussel sprouts. Here are some easy and novel ways of whipping up delicious brussels sprouts dishes.
Stir Fry B.S. with Carrots, Garlic and XO sauce
Wash and cut brussels sprouts into halves (quarter for larger ones) and remove tarnished leaves.
Peel and cut carrots into cube or thin slices.
Fry garlic lightly in vegetable oil. Increase the heat and stiry fry vegetables quickly.
Put two to three teaspoons of spicy XO sauce * and mix well with the vegetables. Put in XO sauce last as it is already cooked. Turn off heat. Dish up and serve with noodles or warm steamed rice.
* XO sauces can can be bought from Asian grocers and the speciality food aisles of supermarkets. I prefer Lee Kum Kee brand which contains visible and tasty dried scallop and shrimp compared to some other brands that use fish or squid as some of the ingredients. Once open, the bottled sauces is best kept refrigerated.
Stir Fry Brussels Sprouts with Bacon
Sizzle thinly sliced bacon in a frying pan. The meat cooks in its own oil and there is no real necessity to add more oil.
Fry diced garlic in the oil and add brussels sprouts. Increase heat and give it a quick stir.

Brussels Sprouts Soup
Finally, treat brussels sprouts as you would with cabbage. They make delicious soups when combined with vegetables and beans. Enhance the flavours by adding celery and some julienned ginger.
