THE VIRAL MARINATED GARLIC, let’s try it!

Ingredients

• 6 cloves Garlic Cloves (peeled and thinly sliced)
• 0.5 cup Rice Vinegar (provides bright acidity)
• 0.5 cup Water (filtered)
• 2 tablespoon Granulated Sugar (dissolves in the brine)
• 1 teaspoon Salt (kosher or sea salt)
• 1 teaspoon Chili Powder (adjust to heat preference; racha powder works great)
• 1 tablespoon Honey (adds sweetness and gloss)

Instructions

1. Slice the Garlic

   Peel the garlic cloves and slice them thinly (about 1‑2 mm) so they will absorb the brine quickly.

   Time: PT5M

2. Prepare the Brine

   In a saucepan combine rice vinegar, water, sugar, and salt. Bring to a rolling boil, stirring until sugar and salt dissolve completely.

   Time: PT5M

   Temperature: 100°C

3. Add Garlic and Chili

   Add the sliced garlic and chili powder to the boiling brine. Reduce heat to a gentle simmer and cook for 5 minutes until the garlic begins to soften.

   Time: PT5M

   Temperature: 90°C

4. Finish with Honey

   Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the honey until fully incorporated. This preserves the honey’s delicate flavor.

   Time: PT2M

5. Cool and Store

   Transfer the hot sauce to a sterilized glass jar, let it cool to room temperature (about 5 minutes), then seal and refrigerate.

   Time: PT5M
