Video Recipe - I make a lot of Asian food. It’s easy, it’s healthy and it tastes good. It is the perfect everyday food. There are many elements that recur in Asian food. The Chinese “holy trinity” of cooking is “garlic, chili and ginger”. It is used in almost all their dishes. The Vietnamese has another trinity. Soy sauce, fish sauce and sesame oil. If you premix those two trinities then it becomes very easy to make Asian cooking.

Ingredients GCG

1 Chili (You decide how strong)
½ Head of Garlic (5-6 cloves)
1-2 dl (¼-½ cup) Oil

Directions

OK. There is no such thing as GCG. Not as far as I know. It is just a mnemonic for the ingredients. It’s a way to make a quick seasoning that makes Asian food much easier.

Grate, chop, blend, or however you can get away with it, all the parts.

Mix it with oil.

When you need to cook something “Asian” then pour it in the frying pan / wok in the beginning. Can easily be used in combination with just oil for a lighter taste.

Store in the refrigerator for up to a week.
