I did it. It is so good. Fresh, greenish flavor (which is the very pleasant surprise, the taste, a hint of the nice perfumed flavor of the sprouts) and fast to prepare. I use a trick for speeding up: I warm the water aside, in the electric kettle, it takes only a minute, so I save about 10 minutes. (This comes from my dear friend that so generously is teaching me how to cook intelligently). I cut the ingredients in pieces and that also reduce the cooking time to 15 min.
To attract the girls I made some croutons, and fried some bacon .
Instead of salt I used a fish sauce called nuoc mam, that gives just a bit of umami flavor. A dollop of cream did it a lot of good.
So Iridal. Success.
