Black Garlic

[NEVERENOUGHWDW]

Today I'm going to try a dish that has black garlic in it. I read about it and found it in an organic market.

Here is the dish I'm going to try:

Black Garlic Noodle Recipe
1/2 pound dry noodles or about 2 heaping cups of cooked noodles
about 8 cloves black garlic, sliced thinly
1 tablespoon grapeseed or vegetable oil
1 teaspoon sesame oil
2 teaspoons fish sauce or soy sauce
handful of chopped cilantro or herbs
salt and pepper to taste
1. Have cooked noodles ready in bowl.
2. In heated pan, add grapeseed oil then add sliced black garlic. Allow black garlic to slowly sizzle in oil and slightly crisp up.
3. Immediately add cooked noodles, gently toss in pan with the black garlic.
4. Add sesame oil and fish sauce. Cook noodles for about another 2 minutes.
5. Remove noodles from pan, add chopped cilantro and herbs. Add extra salt and pepper to taste.
**For added moisture to noodles, you can add maybe about 1/4 cup stock, or even a tablespoon of hoisin sauce (diluted in water). We’ll be experimenting with more variations on these black garlic noodles with a light cream sauce.
