Serves: 4
Prep Time: 10 mins
Cook Time: 20 mins
Ingredients
Fish Sauce Caramel
½ cup Brown Sugar
2 Garlic Cloves, crushed
1 Lemongrass stalk, smashed
2 lime leaves
4 chillies, halved
1/2 cup Fish Sauce
1 tablespoon rice wine vinegar
1 bag brussels sprouts, halved lengthways.
Garnish
Lime
Red Chilli, sliced thinly
Fried shallots
Spring onions, sliced thinly
METHOD
Combine the fish sauce caramel ingredients in a saucepan over a medium heat. Cook until reduced into a thick caramel texture. Strain out the chunky ingredients. Season with lime and extra fish sauce if needed.
In a large saucepan heat enough oil to submerge the sprouts to 165 deg Celsius. Fry the sprouts with a lid half covering to stop spitting until the sprouts are gold, crispy and soft in the centre.
Add the sprouts to a bowl and add the dressing. Toss together to coat the sprouts in the caramel. Serve straight away garnished with chilli and fried shallots.
