Tips

1. You may ask why add white wine which? There is no particular reason, to remove the pungent flavor and preservative of the new garlic. I just personally feel that the addition of white wine stimulates the sweet and sour flavor of the garlic to be more delicious.

2. Why marinate for a month? The pungent flavor of garlic will be much lower after 30 days and it is best when consumed.

3. Some cooks say that the pickled sugar garlic will turn green, usually this is because the proportion of vinegar is large, or high concentration, but also may be exposed to light. If this situation does not matter does not affect the food, the green color is the vinegar to stimulate the garlic in the allicin. Find a cool place to put a black plastic bag over the vessel to prevent it from continuing to turn green, if you eat very slowly, the green color will become lighter and lighter or even no more.

4. Regarding the question of whether white vinegar, 5 degree vinegar and white sugar can be used, in fact, no matter which kind of sugar or that kind of vinegar you use, as long as the sweet and sour sauce is adjusted to the sweet and sourness that you personally like. Then some people may ask how to match this sweetness and sourness where? So it is recommended that you make it once according to the ratio of the recipe to have a reference taste. For example: white sugar and rock sugar both taste and sweetness there is still a big difference.

5. Why don't you use sugar and vinegar to make the soup directly, but have to add water to cook it? I personally don't like that kind of eating in the mouth instantly by the sour flavor stimulation to the mouth feeling, water boiled sugar vinegar juice pickled out of the sugar garlic that is sweet and sour taste and soft.

6. After reading some of my friends' work, I think the choice of new garlic is still a very important issue, and the fresh garlic with white skin in my picture is the most suitable variety for making sugar garlic. Usually purple garlic or one-head garlic will be more spicy. Not as tasty as white-skinned garlic.

7. This recipe proportion of pickled sugar garlic pickled out of the sugar garlic, I think it is the most delicious, if the cook is willing to try, I suggest that you must be in the case of pickling without modifying any of the ingredients once, to see if it is really good, and then according to the place you think there is a lack of modification. Icing sugar and 9 degrees of rice vinegar are sold in ah, not too difficult to obtain the ingredients.
