Instructions
Prepare the Garlic
First, prepare the garlic cloves. If there are any green sprouts in the center, it's best to slice the cloves in half lengthwise and remove them to avoid bitterness. For any particularly large cloves, chop them in half. Place the prepared cloves in a bowl of water for about 5 minutes, then drain them well.
Fry the Garlic
Add a neutral oil to a pan over medium heat. Once warm, add the garlic cloves and stir-fry until they become golden brown all over.
Braise
In a small bowl, mix the miso paste with the water to create a slurry. Add the sake, mirin, and soy sauce to the pan with the garlic and cook for about 45 seconds. Then, add the miso mixture and the optional sliced chili peppers.
Reduce
Continue to cook, stirring gently, until the garlic has absorbed most of the sauce and it has thickened to a glaze.
Finish and Serve
Turn off the heat. Drizzle with sesame oil and sprinkle with sesame seeds. Serve the Miso Braised Garlic immediately, for instance alongside a bowl of fresh rice, and enjoy.
