There arenât that many things in life that I know with absolute certainty, but one thing I do know is that nothingânothing!âwill make me hungrier than the smell of garlic frying in the kitchen
Thatâs because frying garlic to the point where each fragment becomes golden brown and perfectly crispâwithout burningârequires a little patience and precision, and Iâm not usually in the mood to take the extra step. Recently, though, I learned a simple trick for making delicious fried garlic with minimal effort: bring it to the microwave
Itâs a method I picked up from chef Sheldon Simeonâs microwave fried garlicnoodle stir-fry
If you took a peek inside the kitchen at Tin Roof
âOur original technique for frying garlic is like deep-frying a whole turkey, which is kind of asking a lot,â Simeon says. âI wanted to recreate the recipe in a way thatâs fun and approachable for home cooksâthe microwave version is so foolproof and also delicious.â
