Fried Brussels Sprouts

Method

Preparation Steps

  1. 1

    Prepare the Brussels Sprouts

    Trim the ends of the Brussels sprouts and cut them in half. Rinse and dry thoroughly.

  2. 2

    Make the Hoisin Glaze

    In a small bowl, mix the hoisin sauce and black pepper. Set aside.

  3. 3

    Fry the Brussels Sprouts

    In a large skillet, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Add the Brussels sprouts in a single layer and fry until golden brown and crispy, about 5-7 minutes. Stir occasionally.

  4. 4

    Prepare the Tofu Hummus

    In a blender or food processor, combine the tofu, tahini, lemon juice, and salt. Blend until smooth and creamy. Adjust seasoning to taste.

  5. 5

    Combine and Serve

    Once the Brussels sprouts are golden, remove from the heat and toss with the hoisin glaze. Serve the fried Brussels sprouts on a plate with a dollop of tofu hummus, garnished with mint leaves, sliced Thai chili, and a sprinkle of sesame seeds.
