We joke that you can never too much garlic, and I love garlic, but I’ve legit made a dish before that had too much of it lol. It was dan dan noodles with raw garlic in the sauce. You know it’s too much when the house smells like garlic and the tear-inducing spiciness is coming not from the chili oil, but the garlic itself.

Must be fake news. Impossible.

Make another small batch and don’t add garlic. Dilute it out :)
