We need garlic in stir fry vegetable, in steamed fish, with soya sauce as garnish, in marinated lamb, etc etc.
Peeling and dicing garlic though, is a chore that I personally don’t enjoy, and doubt many of you do. It is one pre-cooking preparation that I want to get over with as fast as possible, and I think after months of intense cooking, I have found the fastest steps, so here goes!
Peel & dice garlic in just 4 steps!
- take the whole bulb of garlic, and chop off the root portion with a cleaver
- using the same cleaver, press individual bulbs till it deformed slightly
- the previous step loosen the skin, now you can peel them off easily
- chop away!
Here you go, now you have enough garlic for probably anything you want to cook for the day!
Cheers and happy cooking!
