This garlic paste is a great condiment to serve with Ramen.

Makes 1/4 cup

2
oz pork fat, cut from a slab of pork belly or similar
6
cloves garlic
4
tbsp vegetable oil

Add the pork fat and garlic to a food processor and chop until a smooth paste forms.

In a small pan, heat the oil over medium heat. Add the garlic paste and fry until the paste just starts to take some color. Remove from heat and transfer to a container. With an airtight lid, the paste will keep in the refrigerator for a few weeks.
