This Man's Cook Garlic Braised in Soy Sauce

A savory, slightly sweet side dish made by braising whole garlic cloves in soy sauce and syrup until chewy, with a spicy kick from chili to balance richness.

Ingredients needed 4 servings

Recipe

Cooking tips

  • Do not cook garlic whole—cutting it in half ensures even seasoning and prevents under-seasoning; otherwise, it takes too long and lacks proper texture.
  • Sauté the garlic thoroughly in oil at first to eliminate its sharp, pungent taste and maximize sweetness and nuttiness.
  • Use generous amounts of corn syrup or jujube syrup equal to the mirin to achieve the signature glossy sheen and chewy, resilient texture of this dish.

Recommended for

  • Those who want to enjoy a mildly spicy, sweet-and-salty garlic side dish without overwhelming heat.
  • People looking to stock up on a chewy, appetite-awakening side dish.
  • Those seeking a chili-infused side dish that remains fresh and never tiresome.
