Like avant-garde art, the avant-garde approach to vegetables can take many forms: investing ordinary objects with extra significance, boldly upending tradition or juxtaposing elements that appear disparate. The Los Angeles chef Roy Choi takes that last approach. He did for the kimchi taco what Diane von Furstenberg did for the wrap dress. His sautéed Brussels sprouts play the vegetable off crunchy honeycomb, Greek yogurt and sriracha-spiked vinaigrette. Fried shallots top off the dish.
02In a large sauté pan over medium-low heat, heat the vegetable oil and butter until it foams. Add sprouts and sauté until browned in spots, 2 to 3 minutes. Season lightly with salt and pepper.
03Add about half the vinaigrette, scraping the bottom of the pan with a wooden spoon, and continue to cook until the sprouts are crisp-tender, 2 minutes longer. Add more vinaigrette; it may not all be needed.
04Spread the yogurt thinly over a serving plate, and mound the brussels sprouts on top. Dot with crumbled honeycomb, and garnish with shiso and fried shallots (if using).
