Seriously, I've run out of ideas for frying sprouts. This morning, I sneaked some different 'sprouts' into her bento box - Brussels sprouts! I boiled and cut them and tossed them in a sesame seed dressing. I tried 2 pieces and it was delicious. I personally love Brussels sprouts but somehow only get to eat them at restaurants as an accompaniment with steaks or some sort of Western styled dish. I've never tried cooking Brussels sprouts and the combination of sesame seed dressing seems perfect!
Next to that are some skewered Nori meat patties and raw carrots.
In the other Bento box is a Yellow Kiwi and a smiling face tuna sandwich!

Must give brussel sprouts with sesame seed dressing a try! Very delish! bento today!
you can try brussel sprouts with bacon or with chestnut. it works very well together too :-)
emily: #2 said it was a little bitter. I'm going to cook the balance tonight to try it full scale and see if it is bitter or not.
I always liked it's unique flavor!
lianne: Thanks for the suggestions, will try it tonight!
I love brussel sprouts just like it is! I can only get them frozen here in Saipan, which makes it a little mushier.
I love the obento you post.
i learned a trick from my other half about brussel sprout few months ago. the secret to removing the bitter taste is cooking it longer until it wilted. am not sure if the bitter ness of different species are different though, but do try! lol
para i familiaku: Welcome to the Brussel sprouts club!
lianne: I'm going to try it again coz yesterday's batch was bitter. I didn't boil it enough I think.
Thanks for the tips!
