Preparation:

  1. Trim the bottom ends and any wilting outer leaves from the brussels sprouts. Rinse under cold running water and shake dry. If any of the brussels sprouts are larger the 1-inch in diameter, cut them in half.
  2. Microwave the brussels sprouts in a steamer for 3 minutes on high, this will save you on the cooking time.
  3. Slice the bacon into thin ¼ inch wide strips or batons.
  4. Heat the cooking oil in a wok or a deep-sided frying pan.
  5. Add the bacon to the wok or pan and cook until crisp over a high heat.
  6. Add the minced shallots to wok or pan and sauté, uncovered, over a medium-high heat until softened.
  7. Add the brussels sprouts to the wok or pan; stir, cover and cook until the brussels sprouts have softened and can be pierced easily with a fork.

  9. Pour the mustard/vinegar sauce into the wok or pan, stir to mix, cover and cook over a medium heat for 2 minutes.
  10. Serve Easy Yummy Brussels Sprouts immediately.
