I love to introduce this best partner for salad, dipping sauces and steamed dishes in Chinese cuisine, garlic sauce. If you love hot pot, you may have tasted this one. Comparing with raw minced garlic, this cooked garlic sauce is more aromatic and less aggressive. It looks like just garlic, but aromatics and spices are used to enhance the flavor.

Cook’s Note

  1. This can’t keep for long time since garlic may be spoiled in oil. So make smaller batches and use it in 1 week. Recommend using in roasting eggplants, cucumber salad, steamed chicken, steamed mushrooms and seafood to replace raw garlic.
  2. If you want to make this a hotter version, add some fresh peppers or pepper flakes.

Instructions

Place peeled garlic in a blender and blend with pause for 3-4 times until the garlic are in minced sizes.
