What is this ingredient?
In Korea, minced garlic is incredibly easy to find, as it’s sold in convenient packaging – after all, it’s a staple in Korean cooking! At first, I thought it wouldn’t be available in Germany. But guess what? You can get minced garlic here too! In Germany, it’s sold frozen. There are several brands available, but I always use this particular product. It’s not completely finely minced, but it’s super versatile and really handy. I use it for almost all dishes that require minced garlic. I love you, FRoSTA! Please don’t raise the price. 😊
