Mayu for Ramen
Garlic cooked until black and blended with sesame oil makes a smoky, inky ramen topper with deep savory flavor.
Ingredients
- 1/4 cup canola or vegetable oil
- 10 medium cloves garlic, minced
- 1/4 cup roasted sesame oil
Directions
- Set a small saucepan over medium-low heat with the canola oil and garlic. Stir while it cooks, and once the garlic begins to color, turn the heat down to low.
- Keep cooking, stirring often, until the garlic is fully black, about 10 minutes; it will get very sticky along the way. Scrape the mixture into a heat-proof bowl, then add the sesame oil.
- Pour everything into a blender and blend on high speed until the garlic is broken down completely, about 30 seconds. Spoon it into a sealable container and keep it in the refrigerator for up to 2 months.
