TikTok Spicy Pickled Garlic Recipe
This viral spicy pickled garlic recipe is a quick and addictive snack made famous on TikTok. Packed with bold, tangy, and fiery flavors, this easy-to-make fusion dish is perfect for garlic lovers who crave a zesty twist.
Equipment
- 1 clean jar with a tight-fitting lid (can reuse the original jar if properly rinsed)
Ingredients
- 1 jar of pickled garlic store-bought
- Sriracha sauce to taste
- 1–2 tablespoons Korean chili flakes gochugaru
- A few sprigs of thyme
Instructions
- Begin by pouring out all the liquid from the jar of pickled garlic to avoid diluting the final flavor.
- Squirt in enough sriracha to generously coat the garlic cloves, adjusting based on your desired spice level.
- Sprinkle in the Korean chili flakes, using one to two tablespoons depending on how much heat you prefer.
- Drop a few sprigs of thyme on top to introduce an herbal note.
- Close the jar tightly and shake it until everything is evenly distributed and the garlic is fully coated.
- Let the jar sit for a minimum of 10 minutes so the flavors can blend before serving.
Notes
Storage: Keep refrigerated for up to one week. Shake before each use to remix the spices.
Serving Ideas: Snack on the garlic straight from the jar, use it as a zesty topping for rice bowls or noodles, or feature it on a charcuterie board.
Substitutions:
- Use any preferred hot sauce in place of sriracha.
- Swap out gochugaru for crushed red pepper or a dash of cayenne if needed.
