This quick, flavor-boosting ingredient comes together in minutes. Minced garlic gets doused with oil and microwaved until it becomes golden-brown and crispy. Serve the garlicky condiment with fried chicken, ramen noodles, or leftover rice.

Yield Make about 3 tablespoons

Number Of Ingredients 4

ΒΌ cup minced garlic (about 12 cloves)
Neutral oil
Kosher salt
Sugar

Steps:

  • Place the garlic in a microwave-safe bowl and add enough oil to cover (at least 3 tablespoons). Microwave for 1 minute, then stir. Repeat, stirring and microwaving in 30-second increments until the garlic begins to brown. Then repeat, stirring and microwaving in 15-second increments, until the garlic is a deep gold. (This could take between 2 and 4 minutes total, depending on your microwave.) In a sieve set over a bowl, drain the garlic, reserving the oil. Transfer the garlic to a plate lined with paper towels and season with a pinch each of salt and sugar. Set aside to cool.
