Pf Changs Brussel Sprout Recipes

CRISPY ASIAN BRUSSELS SPROUTS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400°F and set a rack on the very top.
• Prepare the brussels by cutting off the base of each sprout, slicing them in half from top to bottom and remove the excess or loose exterior leaves.
• Soak the cut brussels for a minute in water to clean them.
• Drain and spread Brussels out on a paper towel to dry while the oven is preheating.
• Cover a large rimmed baking sheet with foil (makes cleaning it easier later on) and spread the brussels out on the pan.
• Generously drizzle the brussels with the oil and sprinkle with kosher salt. Stir with your hands to ensure brussels are all well-oiled and salted.
• Place in the oven on the top rack for about 45-60 minutes. After 20 and 40 minutes, stir the brussels to ensure all sides get crispy and charred.
• During the last 5-10 minutes of cooking, reduce remaining ingredients (soy sauce, maple syrup, garlic, sriracha, lemon juice and black pepper) in a sauté pan over medium-high heat until sauce is thickened, about 5 minutes.
• Remove brussels from the oven once all brussels are crispy and slightly charred.
• Place them in a bowl and toss with some of the reduced sauce. Do this a little at a time as you don't want the brussels to be soaked in sauce so they retain their crispy texture. You may have a little leftover sauce. Eat & enjoy!

CHANG-STYLE BRUSSELS SPROUTS

Steps:

• Directions 1. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. 2. With a knife, trim the hard, woody ends of the sprouts, then slice in half lengthwise through the core. 3. Cut the bacon into small chunks and cook in an ovenproof skillet over medium heat till crispy, about 5 minutes. With a slotted spoon, transfer to a paper-towel-lined plate. 4. Drain most of the fat from the pan and add the sprouts, cut-side down. Raise the heat to medium high and sear until the sprouts begin to sizzle. Put the skillet in the oven and roast until the sprouts are deeply browned, 8 minutes or so, then shake the pan to redistribute them and ?ip them over. Pull the pan from the oven when the sprouts are bright green and fairly tender (taste one to check), about 10 minutes more, depending on how large they are. 5. Return the pan to the stovetop over medium heat. Stir in the bacon and, if you want, a pat or two of butter. Swirl till incorporated. 6. Place in a bowl. Add a few squirts of sriracha hot sauce, depending on how hot you like it, and a squeeze or two of fresh lime juice. Season with salt and pepper, if necessary. Serve with anything. * For Thanksgiving, toss a pound of sliced sprouts in a large bowl with 3 to 4 tablespoons of olive oil and a bit of salt. Place them cut-side down on baking trays and roast them in a 400-degree oven for about 15 minutes or until tender. Remove, and return them to the bowl. Toss with fresh lemon juice and toasted slivered almonds, or season as you would in the main recipe. Serve hot.
