I like Brussels sprouts, to prevent overcook,I usually cut it in half or in quarters if it is big one, and quick stir fry with union garlics and soya sauce. I like the slight bitter taste of it and that will enhance your immune system.
You can maintain the bright green colour in brussel sprouts by adding a 1/4 teaspoon of white vinegar and a big pinch to the water you boil them in. You also need to throw them into an icebath. Cool running water for some reason does not shock out the chlorophyll.
