Hansik YoungKorean ingredient guide
Minced garlic is one of those ingredients that makes Korean cooking at home easier. This guide explains how to use it, where to find it, and which recipes work well with it.

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. 😊
If you cannot find it, use a simple alternative and adjust the flavor carefully. Fermented ingredients are often hard to replace exactly.
