Maesri Fried Garlic 300g

Maesri Fried Garlic (กระเทียมเจียวทอด แม่ศรี, krathiam jiao thot mae si) is a ready-to-use crispy fried garlic from Maesri — one of the most essential finishing garnishes and flavour bases in Thai and broader Asian cooking. Fried garlic (krathiam jiao, กระเทียมเจียว) is thinly sliced or minced garlic deep-fried until golden and crispy — producing a garnish that is simultaneously rich, intensely aromatic, and savoury, with a satisfying crunch and a deep, caramelised garlic flavour that is quite different from raw or cooked garlic. Fried garlic is used as a finishing garnish across an enormous range of Thai dishes — from soups and noodle dishes to rice dishes, stir-fries, and congee — as well as across Chinese, Vietnamese, and broader Southeast Asian cuisines. It is also used as a flavour base, stirred into dishes during cooking to add depth and aroma. Maesri’s fried garlic is ready to use straight from the pack, requiring no peeling, chopping, or frying. The 300 g pack is a generous format suited to regular home cooking or small food service use.
