Cooking steps

1

Peel fresh garlic cloves, removing skins completely while keeping cloves intact for best texture.
2

Sterilize a glass jar by pouring boiling water inside, then letting it air dry fully before use to avoid unwanted bacteria.
3

In a saucepan, combine rice vinegar, sugar, and salt. Bring just to a gentle simmer over low heat, stirring to dissolve crystals. Do not boil.
4

Layer garlic cloves into the sterilized jar, packing gently but without crushing.
5

Pour the warm vinegar solution over the garlic until completely submerged, seal tightly, and store in a cool, dark place for at least 21 days until the garlic turns jade green and takes on a tangy flavor.
