Step 1: Loosen cloves
Press down on the stem of a head of garlic to loosen the cloves.

Step 2: Place clove
Pull one clove of garlic from the head and place it flat in the center of a clean cutting board.

Step 3: Crack skin
Place the widest part of the flat side of your blade on top of the clove and smash down on the middle of it with the palm of your hand, taking care not to cut yourself. This will crack the papery skin enough for you to remove it.

Step 4: Position knife
Grasp the knife in your dominant hand, holding the handle close to the blade with three fingers: your middle, ring, and pinkie. Curl your forefinger around one side of the blade while holding your thumb on the opposite side.

Step 5: Slice off root
Slice off the root end of the garlic clove and discard it.

Step 6: Slice clove
Keeping the point of the knife on the board and using a steady rocking motion to slice—not saw—the garlic with the full length of the blade, slice the clove lengthwise into 4 or 5 slices. Then make 4 or 5 slices crosswise.

Tip
Fresh garlic is best used immediately, but you can store it in your refrigerator in an airtight container for up to two days.

Step 7: Repeat process
Pull off another clove, crack and remove the skin, and slice away until you have all the garlic you need.

I want to see a video on "How to do the asian chick chopping the garlic"

[beeble2003]

1:07 Eeeeek! Her ring finger here is very close to the path of the knife and at an angle where she'll take a big lump out of her fingernail if she messes up. Always make sure your fingers are vertical. Use one to three fingers (depending on the size of what you're chopping) to guide the blade of the knife and keep the rest well out of the way! The fingers are much safer at 1:14.
