Main Ingredients- 200g peeled garlic cloves
- Sliced almonds, for garnish
- Black sesame seeds, for garnish
- Vegetable oil (for frying garlic)
Syrup Ingredients- 1 Tbsp sugar
- 1 Tbsp corn syrup (or oligodang)
- 1/2 Tbsp vegetable oil
- 1 Tbsp sugar
- 1 Tbsp corn syrup (or oligodang)
- 1/2 Tbsp vegetable oil
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, rinse the peeled garlic cloves under cold running water to remove any debris. Trim off the hard root ends of the garlic cloves with a knife for a neater presentation.
Step 2
Pat the rinsed garlic cloves thoroughly dry with paper towels. Removing excess moisture is crucial to prevent oil splattering and ensure the garlic fries evenly.
Step 3
Heat a generous amount of vegetable oil in a frying pan over medium heat. Once the oil is hot, carefully add the dried garlic cloves. Fry them until they turn a beautiful, golden-brown color, ensuring even cooking. Stir gently with chopsticks occasionally to maintain a consistent color and prevent burning. The garlic will release a sweet and nutty aroma as it fries.
Step 4
Once fried to a perfect crisp, remove the garlic from the oil using a slotted spoon or transfer them to a plate lined with paper towels to absorb any excess oil. This step helps achieve a crispier texture and reduces greasiness.
Step 5
Now, let’s prepare the candy syrup. In a small saucepan, combine 1 Tbsp sugar, 1 Tbsp corn syrup, and 1/2 Tbsp vegetable oil. Place over medium-low heat. It’s important not to stir the mixture as the sugar melts; allow it to come to a boil and turn into a clear syrup without stirring, to prevent crystallization.
Step 6
Once the sugar has completely melted into a syrup, add the fried garlic, sliced almonds, and black sesame seeds to the pan. Quickly toss everything together to coat evenly with the syrup. Mix rapidly to ensure all ingredients are well-coated. Your delicious garlic candies are ready! They are best enjoyed warm but also have a wonderful crispiness once cooled.
