VEGAN LO MEIN WITH BLACK GARLIC RECIPE

Ingredients

2 servings of dry vegan noodles (I used wheat soba noodles)


2 tablespoons sesame oil


1 small red chilli, deseeded for less heat, chopped


1 tablespoon finely grated fresh ginger


3 cups of julienned/spiralised vegetables like: carrots, zucchini, bell peppers and savoy cabbage. In addition to that you can also add fresh bean sprouts, chopped mushrooms, snow peas, spinach… etc.


1 tablespoon Balsajo black garlic paste


3 tablespoons light soy sauce


1–2 tablespoon of mirin (optional)


8 chopped Balsajo black garlic cloves


2 spring onions, chopped


 


Instructions

Cook the noodles as per instructions on the packaging.


In a large pan, heat the sesame oil. Add ginger and chilli and let them sizzle for about 2 minutes over a medium heat. Add your julienned and chopped vegetables.


Keep turning and tossing your vegetables as they cook until they halved in volume. This should take about 3-5 minutes. You can cook them longer to make them softer or to your preference.


Mix soy sauce with black garlic paste (plus optional marin) and pour this mixture into the pan with the vegetables. Toss and mix for another minute over a high heat.


Serve immediately with fresh, chopped spring onions and chopped black garlic cloves scattered over.


Notes


You can turn black garlic cloves into paste by smashing the cloves with fork or a knife and mixing them with 1 tablespoon of water.

WHAT IS BLACK GARLIC

What Is Black Garlic and How Is It Used? Black garlic is fresh, white garlic that has been aged by warming the garlic bulbs at about 140˚ to 190˚ F in high humidity for an extended period of time (often a month or more) until the cloves become tender and black in color. Some black garlic is also aged through yeast-fermentation under the same conditions. During the aging process the cloves undergo  the Maillard reaction  as the heat creates changes in the amino acids and sugars in the garlic. This reaction is what gives black garlic its rich, tangy, molasses-like flavor and black color. (One common myth about black garlic is that it’s fermented; it is  not.  By definition, fermentation is a chemical breakdown of a substance by bacteria, yeasts, or microorganisms, and it is a process often used in the production of foods like sauerkraut and beer. In contrast, the changes in the color and flavor that occur in white garlic in order to make black garlic are all due to the Maillard reaction.
