Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use fresh Brussels sprouts instead of frozen?
Yes, you can use fresh Brussels sprouts! Just trim and halve them before cooking. You may need to adjust the cooking time to ensure they are tender yet still firm.
What can I do if I don’t have Worcestershire sauce?
If you don't have Worcestershire sauce, you can create a substitute using soy sauce mixed with a bit of vinegar and a touch of sugar for sweetness. This will mimic the umami and tangy flavor of the original ingredient.
Can I make this recipe vegan?
Absolutely! To make it vegan, simply ensure your Worcestershire sauce is vegan-friendly, or use tamari as a substitute. The other ingredients in the recipe are already plant-based, making it easy to adapt.
