Cooking tips 💡

  • Cutting the thick root end of fresh garlic in half before blanching ensures even cooking and better absorption of the seasoning.
  • Adding salt to boiling water when blanching helps preserve the vibrant green color of the garlic.
  • Sesame oil should be added only at the very end after mixing with other seasonings to preserve its rich aroma.
