   Wash the garlic scapes, trim off the seed pod ends, and cut into bite-sized pieces.

3. 3

   In a pan, add cooking oil (3T) and minced garlic (1T) to make garlic-infused oil. Reduce to medium-low heat, add the garlic scapes, and stir-fry for 5 minutes.

4. 4

   Add dark soy sauce (1T), tuna extract (0.5T), and mirin (1T) to the cooked garlic scapes, stir-fry briefly, then add the anchovies and stir-fry for another 20 seconds.

5. 5

   Turn off the heat and finish with oligosaccharide syrup (2T). Sprinkle sesame seeds on top if desired.
