Pickled Garlic

I just ran across this but now I don't recall where; it could have been while doing my online shopping.  When I read about it (google)  it looks like something I'd really like.

Christopher Ranch offers it.  I ordered some.

Anyone tried it?  Or perhaps made their own?

Sweet and sour pickled garlic (糖醋蒜 -táng cù suàn) is very common in Chinese cuisine. Sold bottled or loose in many supermarkets and markets. Either whole bulbs or single cloves.

One unusual treatment is Laba Garlic (腊八蒜 - là bā suàn), which is green.

Then we have soy sauce pickled garlic (酱香蒜 - jiàng xiāng suàn), a Guangxi specialty.

I often serve the latter with shiitake and pork stir fry.

I had remembered that you undertook that project but couldn't remember where you posted the details.Thanks for the link.

 

I will add that even the commercially produced Laba green garlic varies in the intensity of the colour. The one I posted above is particularly green; other examples can be a lot less so.
