This dish is not very healthy as Brussels Sprouts are cooked with Bacon fat. If you want to make it less unhealthy, you can remove all the Bacon fat and cook Brussels Sprouts with healthy Oil. Parmesan Cheese is optional, but I found it adds extra flavour and the dish tastes better. Makes 4 Servings …
I often cook ‘Quick & Easy Beef Rice Bowl’ for my lunch. This type of dish has been absolutely quick and easy since my local supermarket started selling super thinly sliced Beef and Pork, that are frozen and in tuber shape. You can find them at most Asian grocery stores. Today I added Garlic and …
