Directions:

Trim the roots from the garlic heads as well as any wilted or brown leaves. Take one or two heads of garlic and wrap them up in a bundle by rolling the long leaves around and tying them.

Place the bundles neatly and tightly in a dry container. Cover with extra garlic leaves. Press down the bundles with a  plate or saucer.

Mix the soy sauce, water, vinegar and sugar together, bring to a boil; and pour this over the garlic bundles.

Ferment for 4-6 weeks in a cool space. To serve, cut the green leaves into 2-inch long pieces. Then slice the garlic head horizontally. Serve the leaves, garlic and pickling sauce in a  bowl. 


*Since pickles are more sides than anything and last for quite a while, this has no specific servings.
