Cooking Skills：cooking and preparation
Brussels sprouts can be eaten in many ways, including stir-frying, roasting, boiling and then cold salad, baking, making soup, hot pot side dishes, kimchi, pickling, etc. The easiest way to eat it is to cut the washed leaf balls into crosses/halves at the base of the leaf balls with a knife, then boil them in boiling water with a small amount of salt and oil for 3 to 5 minutes. After blanching, they can be mixed with any sauce. Pair it with the juice.
The most common way to prepare Brussels sprouts for cooking is to cut the sprouts from the stems. Any excess stems are cut off and any loose surface leaves are peeled and discarded. Once cut and cleaned, the buds are typically cooked by boiling, steaming, sautéing, roasting, slow cooking, or baking. This process can last up to 45 minutes, and to ensure even cooking throughout, sprouts of similar size are usually chosen. Some cooks make a slit or a cross in the center of the stem to aid heat penetration. However, cross-cutting can be ineffective and is widely believed to cause the sprouts to become waterlogged when boiled.
Overcooking can make the sprouts turn gray and soft, and they can then develop a strong flavor and smell, and some people don't like its garlicky or onion-smelling properties. The smell is related to glucosinolates, a sulfur compound with a characteristic pungency. In terms of flavor, roasting Brussels sprouts is a common cooking method that enhances the flavor. Common toppings or add-ons include Parmesan cheese and butter, balsamic vinegar, brown sugar, chestnuts or pepper.
Notes：In recent years, experiments have proved that broccoli has a preventive effect on gastric cancer.
