• For Garlic Preparation
• Remove the outer peel and taking care that the thicker skin does not break which encases each clove.
• Mix the soy, wine and stock in a Chinese pot.
• Cook the liquid and cook it over a low heat and add cloves. Turn the mixture for 5 to 10 minutes. Add a little sugar and stir to dissolve.
• Cover the vessel and adjust the heat to maintain no bubbles in the mixture being heated. Stew the garlic for couple of hours and lift the lid in between to check that the liquids are not boiling.
• When done, remove the lid partially and let the cloves be there for another hour or so before eating. Swirl the pot occasionally to distribute the sauce.
