Black Garlic Oil | Mayu | Burnt Garlic Oil
Incredibly Potent Black Garlic Oil for Ramen that isn't absurdly difficult.
Equipment
- Mortar and Pestle
Ingredients
- 15 Cloves Garlic
- 1/4 Cup Oil Use a mix for your own flavour, or just use vegetable if you want to be consistent.
Instructions
- Add the garlic to a food processor and process until a fine mince is achieved. If you do not have a food processor, then you can mince finely by hand.
- Empty minced garlic onto a paper towel and extract as much moisutre as possible, replacing the paper towel as necessary. This is to dry it out as much as possible.
- Heat your chosen oil(s) in a pan, and once hot, add the garlic and reduce heat to medium-low.
- Cook the garlic until blackened and there is smoke being produced.
- Strain the oil away, leaving only the small pieces of blackened garlic. Repeat the moisture extraction process to remove as much of the excess oil as possible.
- Using a mortar and pestle, crush the garlic until an oily paste forms.
- Very slowly add additional oil until you reach your desired consistency and serve over ramen, or however you like!
Notes
Although we chose vegetable oil as a safe option, we recommend finding a mix of oils that suits you better! You can use almost any oil, some of our favorites include sesame and even lard!
Doing this in an apartment or small kitchen may set off your smoke alarm! So get a long-handled broom ready to turn it off when it does.
The final product some be an even color throughout.
