S&T #2

Here's a S&T moment for ya.

Minced Garlic (and ramen)
It's pretty much The Shit. I'm not talking about the dry stuff. No, the wet stuff that makes your finger smell for a day if you spill some of the juice on it. I compare minced garlic to brushing your teeth in the shower because it is enjoyable, simple, and it enhances your life over and over and over again. You can add it to anything (you cook) and it will make even the most boring of recipes have your taste buds crying in ecstasy for you to stop. But they don't really mean it.
It will make toast even more delicious and add a satisfyingly crunchy garlic crust to the topside to boot. Tired of that bland chicken breast your mom makes you? Sprinkle some minced garlic on top of it before it goes in the oven and BAM you have delicious chicken.

My personal favorite use for it (and my own personal discovery) is in ramen noodles.
Directions:

1. In 2 cups of water, add a splash of milk, the contents of the season packet, and 10-15 grains of minced garlic.
2. Bring the water to boil in a pot.
3. Add the brick of noodles to water.
4. Boil until desired texture is reached.

And you have what I like to call  Playing on the Beach in Summer. Now right after step 3, you can crack an egg into the pot and let it cook nearly all the way through so the yolk will be firm but chewy. You can also add the egg right before you finish cooking and scramble it throughout the noodles (my favorite way). Whenever I add an egg to my cooking, I add 'in Japan' to the end of the title haha.

So ya. Minced garlic. Live it. Eat it. Swear by it. Don't brush your teeth with it though. Gross.
