In the unpredictable winter weather, which alternates between mild weather and strong cold weather, an increasing number of people, regardless of age or gender, are suffering from colds. A cold is a disease caused by over 200 different types of cold viruses that infect the respiratory mucosa, such as the nose and throat. Symptoms include cough, runny nose, stuffy nose, sore throat, and fever. Depending on the person, the person may suffer from a cold for as little as a week or as long as a month. The most certain way to prevent colds is to increase the body’s immunity. Today, I will introduce a garlic bread recipe made using garlic, which is good for strengthening immunity, and using leftover bread.

Garlic, one of Korea’s four major vegetables with 100 benefits

Garlic is one of the four major vegetables in Korea, along with cabbage, radish, and red pepper. It is a vegetable so inseparable from Korea that it appears in the myth of Dangun. Aside from its strong scent, garlic is said to have 100 benefits, so it is said to be “one-do-one-hundred-ri” and was selected as one of the world’s top 10 health foods by Time magazine in 2002. Garlic’s strong scent eliminates fishy smells and improves the taste of food, making it a food ingredient loved around the world. In Korea, it is widely used in various dishes such as kimchi, pickled vegetables, stews, fried foods, stir-fried foods, seasoned foods, and stews.

Garlic’s greatest benefit is its powerful bactericidal effect. The ingredient called allicin, which is contained in large amounts in garlic, is characterized by a spicy taste and strong odor. This ingredient has bactericidal and antibacterial effects, suppressing the development of food poisoning bacteria as well as cancer, and helps strengthen immunity. In addition, vitamin B contained in garlic not only facilitates the body’s energy metabolism, but when combined with allicin, it has a great effect in recovering from fatigue and increasing stamina.

It is said that when the 40 types of anti-cancer foods known so far are arranged in a pyramid, the one at the top is garlic. Research has shown that consistently consuming about one clove of garlic a day helps prevent cancer. When roasted, there is little change in nutritional value, but the strong aroma and spiciness are greatly reduced, so if it is difficult to eat raw, try grilling it.

Whole garlic with the peel should be heavy and hard when held in the hand, and when viewed from the outside it should be round and have few cloves. Peeled garlic is a good type of garlic that is plump, has a sharp tip, and is light yellow in color. Place whole garlic in a transparent plastic bag, seal it, make several holes, and store at room temperature. Check the color change and use before it spoils. Wash the peeled garlic thoroughly, remove all moisture, and store in an airtight container in the refrigerator. Minced garlic can be stored for a long time if you break it down into small pieces and store it in the freezer.

ingredient

Minced garlic, white bread, butter, sugar, parsley powder

how to make

1. Cut about 4 slices of bread lengthwise into bite-size pieces. You can also use leftover bread scraps.
2. If you don’t have minced garlic, finely chop it with a knife or chopper. Prepare about two tablespoons.
3. Put 60g of butter in a frying pan and melt over low heat.
4. Add two tablespoons of minced garlic into melted butter and fry over medium heat. When the garlic aroma comes out, add the bread and toss evenly. Be careful to control the heat to avoid burning.
5. Add two spoons of sugar and mix well. When the surface of the bread turns golden brown, turn off the heat and sprinkle a generous amount of parsley powder.

TIP

If you don’t have butter, you can get a similar taste by adding cooking oil and frying the chopped garlic and bread, then adding mayonnaise and mixing well before adding the sugar. Sugar can be replaced with allulose or oligosaccharides. If it is difficult to fry directly in a frying pan, add minced garlic, sugar, and parsley powder to melted butter, mix well, spread on the uncut surface of bread, and bake in an air fryer at 180 degrees for 5 minutes on each side to get a crispier texture. At this time, adjust the time according to the air fryer specifications. [시사캐스트]
