If you’re wondering, “What are garlic chives?”
Also known as Chinese chives or Asian chives, they’re an herb in the onion family that have a garlic flavor. They are much more flavorful compared to regular chives and are used often in Chinese cooking.
Although they can be eaten raw, I personally think they’re much better lightly cooked in simple stir-fries, and paired with eggs, shrimp, or pork.
