It works as a finishing garnish and flavor booster, sprinkled over noodles, soups, congee, steamed fish, and stir-fried greens just before serving. The golden oil left behind is prized as garlic oil for drizzling and dressing dishes.
What it is
Crispy fried garlic is minced garlic slowly fried in oil until golden, shatteringly crisp, and lightly toasted. A beloved condiment in Chinese and Taiwanese cooking, it is often sold in jars together with its fragrant frying oil. The slow frying transforms raw garlic's sharp bite into something mellow, nutty, and addictive.
