Steps

Method 1 of 4: Boiled Brussels Sprouts

1. 

   
   
   Boil a pot of water. Place a large pot of water on the stove, add a pinch of salt and wait a few minutes for the water to boil.

2. 

   Wash Brussels sprouts. Wash about 1 kg of Brussels sprouts under running water and discard any yellowed leaves.

3. 

   
   
   Add Brussels sprouts to boiling water and boil for 10-15 minutes. Cook until the cabbage is tender - you can easily poke it with a fork.

4. 

   Strain the Brussels sprouts and season with seasonings. When cabbage is tender, you just need to add seasoning to eat. Spices to Brussels cabbage include salt, pepper and butter. You should enjoy it while the cabbage is still hot. advertisement

Method 2 of 4: Pan-fried Brussels sprouts

1. 

   
   
   Wash and cut Brussels sprouts. Wash the Brussels sprouts under cold running water and remove the yellow leaves. Then, cut the cabbage in half from the top to the stem and make a 1-centimeter incision in the stem. This will allow the heat to evenly disperse into the Brussels sprouts.

2. 

   Heat ¼ cup olive oil in a saucepan over medium high heat. Use a pan large enough to fit all the Brussels sprouts.

3. 

   Place Brussels sprouts in a pan with the cut side down and season with seasoning. Season the cabbage with salt and pepper to taste.

4. 

   Fry the Brussels sprouts. Fry one side of the cabbage for 5 minutes until golden brown, then switch to the other side.

5. 

   Pour 1/3 cup of water into the pan and complete the cabbage processing. Water will cover the surface of the pan. Cook the Brussels sprouts until the water has evaporated and the cabbage is cooked evenly.Then, mix cabbage with lemon juice and enjoy while still hot. advertisement

Method 3 of 4: Grilled Brussels sprouts

1. 

   Preheat oven to 200ºC.

2. 

   Wash and trim Brussels sprouts. Wash the cabbage under running water and remove the yellow leaves. Then, cut off the stem for easy processing.

3. 

   Place Brussels sprouts in a bowl and season with seasonings. Sprinkle with some black pepper, ¾ teaspoon salt and sprinkle with olive oil.

4. 

   Mix so that the Brussels sprouts are coated with the seasonings and lay them in a layer in a baking tray. This helps the cabbage soak in the spices and cook evenly.

5. 

   Bake Brussels sprouts for about 35-40 minutes or until tender. After 30 minutes, check to see if the cabbage is tender by stabbing it with a fork. Shake the baking tray several times to allow the cabbage to cook evenly.

6. 

   Enjoy. Sprinkle the remaining teaspoon of salt over the cabbage and enjoy while still hot. advertisement

   Boil Brussels sprouts for 5-10 minutes. The cabbage is now starting to become soft. Then, pour the water and filter the cabbage.

5. 

   Add butter, salt and garlic to the pan to simmer. Add 2 tablespoons of butter, 1 teaspoon of salt and 1 minced garlic clove to the pan. Wait 1-2 minutes to heat up the ingredients and let the garlic smell.

6. 

   Stew the Brussels sprouts for 3-5 minutes or until brown. Gently stir the Brussels sprouts to mix well with other ingredients. If the pan is too dry, add 1 tablespoon of butter. advertisement

Advice

• The method of sautéing and stewing is quite similar, but the finished product will be different. Pan-frying is a quick-cooking method, similar to sautéing, done in a pan with only a small amount of fat to make the Brussels sprouts brown and evenly cooked inside. The stew will use more liquid, in this case melted butter, which will be absorbed in the cabbage and allow the cabbage to cook evenly. Therefore, the broth is all absorbed into the Brussels sprouts.
• Brussels cabbage also adds flavor to pancakes.
