Calories: 100kcal
Ingredients
- 2 heads of garlic
- 1 tbsp oyster sauce
- moderate salad oil
- 1 tsp chicken essence
- 1 tsp pepper powder
Instructions
- Mince the garlic. If you do a lot, the minced garlic needs to be washed and drained to remove some mucus. This is to prevent the oozing garlic juice from sticking to the pan when it is stir-fried, which has a bitter taste. You can omit this step if you make a small amount of garlic sauce at home.
- Add salad oil to the pot, pour 2/3 of the minced garlic into the pot, and cook on low heat until the color of the minced garlic is slightly yellow.
- Pour in the remaining 1/3 of minced garlic and sauté the garlic aroma over low heat, then turn off the fire.
- Add salt, sugar, oyster sauce, chicken essence, pepper powder, and stir well.
- When steaming seafood, pour garlic sauce on the seafood. After steaming, sprinkle green onion or spicy millet and drizzle with hot oil. After the remaining garlic sauce is cool, put it in a jar with a lid and keep it in the refrigerator.
Notes
When frying the garlic sauce, you need to pour it in two parts. Half of the garlic should be fried until golden brown, and the other half of the garlic should be slightly fried. This will make the garlic sauce more fragrant.
