Fish sauce is the catch: you'll need to make a special trip to Harris Teeter's international aisle or ALDI, since Food Lion and Walmart don't reliably stock it, and that's a real cost to a weeknight decision. Brussels sprouts and peanuts are standard at all Charlotte chains, and olive oil is everywhere. At roughly $1.50 per serving for produce and pantry staples, the cost is fair. The 35-minute claim understates prep by about 10 minutes when you factor in trimming and halving the sprouts, but the actual cooking is quick and hands-off once they hit the pan. This is a straightforward side dish that doesn't ask much technically—it reheats decently in a toaster oven but is really best the same night when the sprouts still have some texture.
