Black Garlic Usage Tips: Maximize Flavor in Your Cooking

To get the most out of your black garlic, here are some practical cooking tips that can help:

1. Timing of Addition

• For soups and stews, typically add whole or peeled black garlic cloves at the beginning with other ingredients. Through long, slow simmering or steaming, its flavor fully infuses into the broth.
• For stir-fries or salads, it’s best to mash the black garlic into a paste or mince it into small pieces. Add it just before finishing the dish or during tossing to retain its more distinct and vibrant flavor.

2. Dosage Reference

• Black garlic has a mild, sweet flavor and generally isn’t overpowering. Adjust the amount based on the dish size and personal preference. For example, a common practice is to use 2-4 whole cloves of black garlic for a 2-3 serving soup.

3. Creative Pairings

Beyond traditional Chinese cuisine, try incorporating black garlic into Western dishes or fusion recipes. For instance, mix black garlic paste into softened butter to create a black garlic compound butter, perfect for topping steaks or spreading on bread. Alternatively, mince black garlic and mix it into meat fillings to make uniquely flavored dumplings or meatballs.
