As one of the representative traditional Chinese pickled foods, salted garlic has a history dating back thousands of years.In an era when materials were not abundant, people invented various pickling methods to extend the shelf life of food, and salted garlic was one of them.It not only solves the problem of garlic being perishable, but also gives it a unique flavor and taste, making it an indispensable seasoning in Chinese cuisine.With the passage of time, the production process of pickled garlic has been continuously refined, and the flavor has become more diverse. It has gradually gone abroad and become popular in the world.
The production process of pickled garlic seems simple, but it actually contains rich experience and wisdom.First of all, the choice of materials is the key.You must choose full and intact garlic, which will give you a better taste and richer flavor when marinating.Next, soak the garlic in water for a while to remove surface impurities and dirt.Subsequently, peeling, cleaning, and blanching are meticulously carried out at each step to ensure the purity and texture of the garlic.The process of blanching is particularly important, as it can remove the pungent taste of raw garlic while also making it more mild and delicious.
Salt is an indispensable ingredient in the process of pickling.A moderate amount of salt not only ensures the salty taste of garlic, but also effectively inhibits bacterial growth and prolongs the storage time.In addition, according to personal taste, you can also add spices such as chili powder, ginger slices, and peppercorns to add more layers of flavor to the pickled garlic.Finally, seal the pickled garlic in a container and place it in a cool, ventilated place for fermentation.Over time, garlic gradually absorbs the salt and seasoning flavors, becoming more mellow and delicious.
The flavor of garlic in brine is unique and leaves an endless aftertaste.It has both the pungent and fresh flavor of garlic, as well as the salty and complex flavor of seasonings.During the pickling process, the pungent flavor of garlic gradually transforms into a soft garlic aroma, which blends with the salty freshness of the salt, forming an indescribable delicacy.Whether as a side dish or as a cooking ingredient, garlic in brine can add a unique flavor to dishes.
