Fried garlic

We loved Ajisen fried garlic.  We can't eat ramen without their fried garlic.  It just don't feel right if we do without it.

Here's my 2nd attempt making, since my girl loves it and she said close enough to the Ajisen stall one.  That sounded encouraging and my son son how different can it be.  It's just fried garlic. 

Well, presenting it now, a simple making of fried garlic.

Ingredients not but garlic ....

To begin with peel whatever amount of garlic you want .

Wash it, dry it minced it and lastly fried it in a small pot of oil.  Make sure the oil is hot enough for deep frying.  When brown drain out the garlic onto a grease paper to absorb the oil.  Store and eat as wish.
