Notes

  • Use grapeseed oil or any neutral oil suitable for sautéing garlic without burning.
  • Adjust the amount of Korean chilli powder to control the spice level.
  • For gluten-free option, substitute soy sauce with tamari or coconut aminos.
  • To add protein, consider adding tofu or cooked chicken on the side.
  • Ensure constant stirring during sauté to prevent garlic from burning and becoming bitter.
