Taste & Role
Spicy🍯 SweetSavory
Minced garlic serves as a foundational aromatic, typically bloomed in hot oil at the start of a stir-fry to perfume the entire dish. It also appears in marinades, dipping sauces, braises, and cold dishes, where it infuses food with its distinctive savory depth.
What it is
Minced garlic is garlic cloves that have been finely chopped into small, uniform pieces. It can be prepared fresh at home with a knife or garlic press, or purchased pre-minced in jars packed with water or oil. It is one of the most fundamental aromatics in Chinese cooking.
