Yokofuku Japanese Garlic Paste with Shio Koji

Description

Crafted from Japanese-grown garlic, this velvety, creamy paste is a game-changing flavor booster—every jar contains two whole heads of garlic, finished with a hint of fermented funk from shio koji. Its texture resembles garlic butter—the garlic is raw when pureed into paste. The paste is ready to use out of the jar, bringing garlic, salt and umami to dishes without making a sticky, pungent mess of your hands or cutting board.

The first note is a bold hit of sweet garlic, with zero pungency or bite to follow up. The koji provides an earthy, rounded sweetness like other fermented ingredients—like gochujang or miso—and is our secret to perfect marinades. Shio koji’s enzymes break down proteins, for juicy, tender meat and fish. Mix it into marinades or brines (the fast-working shio koji save tenderizing time), toss with stir-fries or pastas, stir into soup or rub as is on to steak or chicken legs. We also like it as a condiment—slather it on toasted bread, serve on a charcuterie board or with antipasti, dish some up alongside grilled vegetables or fried chicken. This premium seasoning is made with zero artificial additives.

How to use

Mix it into marinades or brines, toss with stir-fries or pastas, try it in ramen or salad dressing, stir into soup or rub as is on to steak or chicken legs. We also like it as a condiment—slather it on toasted bread, serve on a charcuterie board or with antipasti, dish some up alongside grilled vegetables or fried chicken. We recommend a minimum marination time of 30 minutes (you can also leave the paste on meat or fish for half a day)—we suggest 3 to 4 tablespoons per 0.5 pound of meat or fish. Replace the garlic in our Farfalle with Kale, Garlic and Lemon with the paste; add it to taste. Or, substitute the paste for garlic in our Mexican Shrimp in Garlic Sauce (Camarones al Mojo de Ajo), using 1.5 and 2 tablespoons in place of the cloves and cooking it for 20 seconds, until fragrant. Try a little to taste in our Miso-Ginger Dressing.
