Homemade black garlic ! This is what I make to boo

Homemade black garlic !
This is what I make to boost our immunity; black garlic, especially at this time of the year.

Simply place some fresh garlic in a rice cooker, and keep it on “keep warm” mode for about 2 weeks. Nothing more, nothing less!

Right after they’re fermented, they are very soft and so I keep them out in the sun for several days to let them dry to get that “chewy” texture.

Not only they’re super good for you, but they’re so tasty, somewhat like dried prunes, that you just wish you could continuously snack on them, but one or two is enough for the day. (Yes, one of my dear friends loved it so much that she couldn’t get her hands off them while we chatted😂)

They are so good for you and so terribly easy to make, you might as well make your own because the store-bought ones can be pretty expensive.

But it’s true, it does give out quite a bit of smell while fermenting and that’s why I need to do it on my balcony!

But do give it a try!

この時期は特に免疫力を上げたいからと
せっせと黒ニンニクを作っています。

作り方はチョーー簡単！
生のニンニクを約2週間、炊飯器で「保温」するだけ！
発酵直後は柔らかいので
そのまま数日、外で干して
グミのような食感にします。

黒ニンニクは身体に良いだけでなく、何より美味しい！！
ドライプルーンのようなフルーティな味なのでバクバク食べたくなっちゃいますが、
食べ過ぎも良くないので
ガマンガマン。

こんなに美味しくて
こんなに身体に良くて
何よりも売っているのは少々お値段も張るので
自家製は心強い🎵

ただ、発酵中はなかなか強烈なニンニク臭を発するので
是非ベランダで！
