2 Types of Garlic at Ramen Shops

Garlic goes really well with most kinds of ramen, and you can find one type of garlic at most ramen shops and another kind only at some.

The most common garlic you will see on counters are raw minced garlic.

Most shops have them pre-minced (probably they bought jars of minced garlic), and other shops would have garlic on the counter and garlic press for you to use. The latter is great as they keep the garlic fresh and spicy.

Another type, and much more rare, are the fried sliced garlic.

They are crispy and delicious. The flavour is completely different and are usually not nearly as spicy.

I cannot choose which I like more, as they are so different. I was surprised to find one shop that offered both.

Either way, I was sure that I smelled horrible for the rest of the day.
