Peeled garlic pickles are a traditional Korean side dish known for their bold flavor and crunchy texture.

They make an excellent accompaniment to meals, especially with rice and grilled meats.

The simplicity of the ingredients and the ease of preparation make this dish a popular choice.

Today, we'll guide you through the process of making delicious peeled garlic pickles at home. Let's get started!

 

• 500g peeled garlic
• 1 cup soy sauce
• 1 cup vinegar
• 1 cup sugar
• 1 cup water
• 1 tablespoon salt
• 2-3 chili peppers (optional)
• Toasted sesame seeds (optional)

Main Steps

 

1. Preparing the Garlic

First, thoroughly wash the peeled garlic and remove any excess water. If the garlic cloves are large, consider cutting them in half. After washing, place the garlic in a strainer to drain off any remaining water.

 

2. Making the Brine

In a pot, combine soy sauce, vinegar, sugar, and water in a 1:1:1:1 ratio. Add the salt and bring the mixture to a boil over medium heat. Stir well until the sugar dissolves. If you prefer a spicy kick, you can add chili peppers to the brine.

 

3. Pickling the Garlic

Place the prepared garlic in a clean glass jar or an airtight container. Pour the hot brine over the garlic, ensuring all the cloves are fully submerged in the liquid.

 

4. Fermentation Process

Seal the container and let it sit at room temperature for about a day. Then, transfer it to the refrigerator and allow it to ferment for at least a week. The flavor will deepen and improve the longer it sits.

 

5. Serving and Storing

Once the pickles are ready, you can sprinkle some toasted sesame seeds on top for an extra layer of flavor. Store the garlic pickles in the refrigerator and enjoy them as a side dish or a condiment with various meals.

 

 

Peeled garlic pickles are not only easy to make but also offer a rich, savory taste. They embody the depth of Korean traditional flavors and are perfect for sharing with family and friends. This healthy and flavorful dish is a wonderful way to enjoy the benefits of garlic in a delicious form. Try making your own batch at home and savor the unique taste of homemade garlic pickles!
