Inspired by Chef David Chang’s fan favorite Brussels Sprouts dish made famous at his NYC restaurant Momofuku, this roasted version gets its sweet-tart-spicy flavor from fresh lime juice, fish sauce, and Thai chilies. Fresh cilantro and mint add freshness making it appropriate to enjoy year round.
Ingredients
Roasted Brussels Sprouts
- 2 pounds Brussels Sprouts, washed and dried very well
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1/4 cup chopped cilantro leaves
- 2 tbsp thinly sliced cilantro stems
- 3 tbsp chopped mint leaves
Fish Sauce Vinaigrette
