Jade Laba Garlic

Jade Laba Garlic

Only flawless, unsprouted cloves make the cut here, sealed dry with rice vinegar so the garlic transforms into gleaming emerald orbs over the days ahead.

Instructions

  1. 1
    Step image

    Prepare garlic, rice vinegar, and a bottle that must be clean, free of oil and water.

  2. 2
    Step image

    First remove the outer skin, wash your hands, and then remove the garlic skin one by one.

    Pick out garlic that has sprouted, is damaged, or has been bruised

    Put the wrapped garlic directly into the jar, and do not wash it with water under any circumstances.

  5. 5
    Step image

    Pour in rice vinegar directly, not covering the garlic completely, about 80% full is enough, because it will ferment and bubble the next day, to prevent overflowing.

    Be sure to put plastic wrap or a clean plastic bag over the lid, because vinegar is corrosive. If it’s an iron lid, the lid will rust, and the flavor of the pickled garlic will worsen. Just put the lid on, and pickling garlic is that simple.
