Here is another way to enjoy the very misunderstood vegetable brussel sprout. Living in the frozen tundra, taught me how to make the best of our different vegetable. These poor brussel sprouts were over cooked and was given a terrible reputation. I am out there to help these guys redeem their existence with a touch of Asian, of course!
I have 1 Chinese Lap Cheong left and it inspired me to treat it like Pancetta. If you prefer you can switch it back to pancetta in this recipe.
Brussel Sprouts with Chinese Lap Cheong
8 ozs Brussel sprouts, cleaned, remove and discard outer leaves.

1 tbsp sesame oil
salt and pepper
Toasted sesame seeds for garnish
Directions:
Break up each little head of brussel sprout into leaves or you can shred it if preferred, you can shred it;\
Chop the sausage or pancetta
