This easy to make this green bean and potato sautéed dish which goes best with Indian breads or rice.  When shopping for fresh green beans, look for the bright green and crisp, firm ones rather than the softer, flimsy ones. The best ones will make a snapping noise when broken in half.  For Thanksgiving, instead of the common green bean casserole, this is a great substitute for something different, much more delicious, nutritious, and less fattening.

Although this is a classic Japanese recipe, toppings will vary from household to household. The following is how my friend Atsuko does it. Mentsuyu—or the more professional term warishita—the sauce poured around this fried tofu, is a multi-purpose condiment commonly found in the Japanese kitchen.

Pan Fried Brussels Sprouts with Chinese Bacon

Pan Fried Brussels Sprouts with Chinese Bacon

Recipe Courtesy by Irene Wong, Award winning Food Network producer

Brussels Sprouts have made quite a comeback on the American table, especially around the Thanksgiving holiday. For this recipe, I like to use dry-cured Chinese Bacon for its smoky essence and rich meat flavor. The addition of fish sauce and clover honey might sound insane but their sweet and salty characteristics marry very well. Using the same cooking technique for pan-fried dumplings, these Brussels Sprouts are crisp on the outside and soft and tender on the inside. The best part: you only need five ingredients and less than 20 minutes from start to finish. It’s the perfect side dish to make any time of the year.
