Stir Fried Flowering Chives Recipes

Steps:

• Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add butter; heat until melted, about 30 seconds. Add chive flowers, garlic, and salt; cook and stir until soft and tender, 3 to 5 minutes. Grind black pepper over mixture before serving.

Steps:

• Wash and dry the chives, snap off ends about 2.5 cm (1 in) or so from the end of the stem, then cut the chives into finger-lengths. Heat the oil in a wok and quickly stir-fry the chives for a minute on medium-high heat. Add oyster sauce, water, cornflour and sugar mixed together, stir until boiling and thickened, and serve at once.

Steps:

• Heat wok over high heat until a drop of water vaporizes instantly upon contact. Add oil, swirling to coat wok evenly, and heat until hot and just smoking. Add chives and red pepper flakes and stir-fry, letting chives rest on bottom and sides of wok several seconds between stirs, until chives are tender and slightly browned, 2 to 4 minutes. Stir in salt. Serve over rice.

Steps:

• Mix together the cornstarch, 1 tsp. of the wine, soy sauce, and pinch of sugar in a medium bowl. Trim any excess fat or skin from the pork and slice it against the grain into short, thin pieces, 1 to 2 inches (2.5 to 5 cm) by ¼ inch (6 mm). Toss the pork with the marinade and let sit for at least 10 minutes but no more than 1 hour.
• Cut the chives into 1- to 2-inch (2.5- to 5-cm) segments. You should have about 4 cups. Set aside.
• Heat a well-seasoned wok over high until smoking. Reduce the heat to medium-high, then add the oil. Once the oil is shimmering, add the ginger and garlic and stir-fry until fragrant. Add the pork and stir-fry until just cooked, 2 to 3 minutes.
• Add the flowering chives, the remaining 2 tsp. of wine, 1½ tsp. sugar, and the salt and fry until aromatic, 1 to 2 minutes. Don't cook the chives for too long, or they lose their crispness!
