hi aeri. today i went to a korean shop and they have this garlic tops but spicy version. i think they put gochujang (sorry if i spelled it wrongly). i tried it n a love it very much. they also have one in cucumber and again they put lots of the chili pepper paste. can u tell me the recipes for those
hi layping,
I can guess what you are talking about.. just I have to cook it to get a recipe … and only spring I can get garlic tops.. so I will add it to my list..and make it later.. sorry ^^
I don’t know what the cucumber one is.. it is also garlic top with cucumber ??? or just cucumber side-dish ??
I have garlic planted but what’s growing out of the soil looks more like garlic chives. These look like green beans. Is it a different type of garlic type?
hi Bo,
I think it’s from normal garlic..
here is a link for you about this..

if you planted garlic… you will get this too..
Yay! I made these the other day with sugar and they were just good. Your recipe made them excellent. Thanks for giving me a simple recipe to help me meet my goal of having several simple types of panchan on hand at home.
You gave me a new way to deal with the garlic stems. Normally after washing and cutting, I put the garlic stems in a jar with soy sauce and some vinegar and let it stay in the fridge without disturbing it for at least a month and when I am ready to eat it, I just add the go-ju-jung. Thank you for the new way of cooking.
Hi, Krystal
I know what you are talking about. Yes, I was going to post that type of garlic stem sidedish someday… hehe Thanks !! Are you a Korean by the way ?? I think you know about Korean food.
I did not know that garlic tops were edible, let alone delicious. They are similar in taste to chives, only bigger and more meatier. The taste of this dish is like a caramelized soy taste, if there is such a thing. It is very good. I can eat them like candy, although they are not as sweet as candy. There is another way to prepare these. It is spicy with red pepper power. I also like that dish. Hopefully Aeri will make that soon, although it will probably have to wait until the spring when we can buy more tops.
Hi, honey~~
haha..I can make soy sauce candy for you for Christmas !!! you have to eat them all since I don’t want !!!!! (jk) Yep !! I will make that spicy one in the spring !! I can’t wait for spring.. Let’s plant more vegetables next spring okay ??
