Ingredients
- 4 tbsp butter ((1/2 stick))
- 1+1/2 lb Brussels sprouts (trimmed, cut into halves)
- 1/2 cup water
- salt and pepper (to taste)
- garlic powder (to taste)
Instructions
- 1
Melt the butter in your wok over medium-high heat.
- 2
Add the Brussels sprouts, then stir-fry to coat the sprouts in the melted butter.
- 3
Pour the water over the sprouts.
- 4
Stir occasionally, allowing the water to evaporate. The water will help steam the brussels sprouts so that they are perfectly cooked on the inside.

When you can see that the water has evaporated (about 8 – 10 minutes), spread the brussels sprouts into a single layer in your wok, then allow the sprouts to sit untouched for about a minute.

Stir, then let it sit untouched for another minute to caramelize even more of the sprouts.

Add salt, pepper, and garlic powder to taste.
