1 head of garlic (about 60g)

1/2 cup cooking oil

3 to 4 tbsp chili powder

1/2 tsp salt

1/2 tsp sugar

Recipe

Peel the whole head of garlic, then place it in a mortar and coarsely pound it, leaving some texture.
In a small pan or saucepan, combine 1/2 cup of cooking oil and the pounded garlic, and place over medium-low heat.
Slowly fry for 6 to 8 minutes at a low temperature, where small bubbles gently form around the garlic.
As soon as the garlic turns golden brown, immediately strain it through a sieve to separate the oil and garlic.
Spread the strained garlic flakes thinly on a paper towel to remove excess oil, and let them cool completely.
To the warm garlic oil, add 3 to 4 tbsp chili powder, 1/2 tsp salt, and 1/2 tsp sugar, and mix well to finish the chili garlic oil.

Coarsely pound the garlic and slowly fry it with cooking oil over medium-low heat.
Strain the golden garlic through a sieve and cool on a paper towel to make garlic flakes.
Mix chili powder, salt, and sugar into the remaining garlic oil to finish the chili garlic oil.

Cooking tips

Frying over high heat will quickly burn the garlic and make it bitter, so be sure to cook it slowly over medium-low heat.
Even after straining, the residual heat will continue to cook the garlic, so it's best to remove it from the heat when it turns a light yellow color.
Once completely cooled, store the finished garlic flakes in an airtight container to maintain their crispiness.
