Critical Success Points

  • Burn garlic to a deep golden brown without turning black; this imparts the signature aroma.
  • Season with soy sauce and burnt garlic at the end to prevent over‑cooking the delicate flavor.

Safety Warnings

  • Hot oil can splatter – use a splatter guard if needed.
  • Burnt garlic can become bitter if overcooked; watch closely.
