How to use garlic powder

Garlic powder is a synthetic seasoning, a powdered seasoning. In general, garlic powder is used in fried dishes or when marinating some ingredients. It is mainly used to replace garlic. For example, garlic powder is used when making garlic ribs and garlic chicken wings. Garlic powder is easy to use and has a strong flavor, and is loved by many people.

Method 1: Garlic Spare Ribs

Material:

1000g whole ribs, 4 tablespoons (60g) minced garlic, 3 tablespoons (45ml) oyster sauce, 2 tablespoons (30ml) cooking wine, 1 tablespoon (15ml) dark soy sauce, 2 tablespoons (30g) white sugar, 2 teaspoons (10g) chopped green onions, 1 teaspoon (5g) pepper, 1 green onion, 3 chili peppers, 3 tablespoons (45ml) light soy sauce, 300g bread crumbs, 600ml oil (actual consumption 30ml)

1. Rinse the whole piece of ribs with clean water, then stand the ribs upright, cut along the gaps between the ribs one by one, divide the ribs into several whole ribs, and then chop them into 15cm long sections.

2. Add minced garlic, oyster sauce, cooking wine, dark soy sauce, white sugar, chopped green onions and pepper powder to the ribs, mix well and marinate for 30 minutes.

3. Wash the green garlic and chili peppers, chop them together, put them in a bowl, add light soy sauce and mix evenly to make a sauce.

4. Coat each rib evenly with a layer of breadcrumbs and squeeze them firmly with your hands to ensure that the breadcrumbs are tightly attached to the outside of the ribs. Then lift them up and shake off the excess crumbs on the outer layer.

5. Heat the oil in a pan over medium heat. When it is 40% hot, put the ribs in. Heat slowly over low heat and fry for 8 minutes. When the surface turns golden brown, remove from the pan and drain the oil.

6. Finally, pour the sauce on the ribs.

Characteristics of garlic powder

The characteristic of garlic powder is that it has a mellow garlic flavor, but there is no trace of garlic. In my opinion, the biggest advantage is that it is not easy to get burnt when frying, unlike adding fresh minced garlic. It is easier to control the oil temperature and heat than adding garlic powder.

But one thing is, when using garlic powder to marinate ribs, chicken wings and other ingredients, do not put too much garlic powder, otherwise the finished dish will be a bit bitter. The recommended ratio is one ounce of garlic powder for one pound of raw materials.
