in the recipe I am using, it says well-minced garlic? What happens when
it's minced or just chopped?Does it effect the taste or is it just the looks?

Chopped is just bigger pieces. If you have a sharp chopping knife you can just keep chopping till the pieces are small. Its ok if they are a little big though. the flavor and health properties will still be in what you prepare.

Finely Minced Garlic

Chopped garlic tends to be less strong in flavour. Minced is stronger, but has the added advantage of the diner not being confronted with a piece of garlic, where as the minced permeates through the dish.
Hope that clears that up for you!!

Minced is finely chopped. Chopped is coarser, larger pieces. I usually smash garlic cloves with the side of a chef knife, skin is very easy to remove, little chopping is required. The more surface area exposed (smaller pieces), results in a more concentrated flavor and faster cooking time.

Minced is just a finer chopping. It keeps the pieces smaller to distribute the flavor of garlic better, and not keep it concentrated into larger bites.

yes..chopped tends to be a little bigger,kinda like if you chopp a onion up kinda fine where u can still see it in the food n taste it when u add it to your dish...where as minced would be chopped very fine and sometinmes water is added so that the water will absorb the flavor..undetechtable. with garlic for it not to over power the dish it is better to mince it anyway

do not recognize in the journey that they have got ever been standardized, yet i recognize how i imagine of them. cutting leads to random, irrigular sharped products, and has little to do with the scale---regardless of if we've a tendency to imagine of cutting as dividing into difficult, largish products. yet i visit actually chop a garlic clove. Dicing, to me, connotes precision, in that the products are cubes. a wide-spread dice is 1 / 4 inch. a tremendous dice should be something higher than that. A brunois is an a million/eighth inch dice. Mincing is something smaller than a brunois. And is frequently so high-quality the product is paste-like.

In my opinion...minced is squished where chopped is bits and pieces. Hope that helps.
