Main Ingredients
- 1 Tbsp butter
- 10 cloves garlic
- 0.2 Tbsp black pepper (adjust to taste)
- 0.1 Tbsp seasoned salt (or regular salt, adjust seasoning)
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, wash the 10 cloves of garlic thoroughly, pat them dry, and then slice them according to your preference. Thinly slicing them will allow the butter flavor to penetrate better, while cutting them into 2-3 larger pieces allows you to enjoy the garlic’s texture and taste more richly. Whichever way you slice them, the key is to maximize the fragrant aroma of the garlic!
Step 2
Now, let’s begin cooking! Place 1 tablespoon of butter in a heated frying pan. The rich butter flavor will combine with the garlic to create a fantastic taste. Using too much butter can make the dish greasy, so it’s best to stick to the amount specified in the recipe.
Step 3
As the butter slowly begins to melt in the pan, immediately add the sliced garlic you prepared. Adding the garlic before the butter is fully melted ensures that the garlic absorbs the butter’s flavor evenly. Be cautious, as the butter can burn if the pan’s temperature is too high at this point.
Step 4
Adjust the stove to medium heat. After adding the garlic, stir it frequently to prevent burning. Sauté the garlic for about 2-3 minutes until it becomes slightly golden and develops an appetizing brown hue. As the garlic roasts to a golden color, a savory aroma will fill the air. Continuous stirring is crucial to avoid burning.
Step 5
Once the garlic has reached your desired golden brown color, reduce the heat to low. At this point, sprinkle in 0.2 tablespoons of black pepper. Black pepper plays a role in making the garlic’s flavor deeper and more sophisticated. Feel free to adjust the amount of pepper according to your preference.
Step 6
Next, add 0.1 tablespoons of seasoned salt to season the dish. Seasoned salt adds a savory depth that makes the dish’s flavor richer compared to regular salt. If you don’t have seasoned salt, regular salt will also work. Be careful not to over-salt at this stage; it’s best to taste and adjust the seasoning as needed.
Step 7
This is the final step! Continue to cook over low heat until the garlic reaches your desired doneness – slightly golden on the outside and tender on the inside, without becoming too mushy. Once the desired texture and flavor are achieved, your delicious butter garlic stir-fry is complete! It tastes best when served warm. It’s an excellent side dish for steak, fish, salads, and more, and it’s also delicious dipped with bread!
