Garlic Chive Stir Fry
Garlic chive stir fry is a typical Taiwanese home style dish. If you haven’t eaten garlic chives before, you’re missing out. They’re like a cross between green onions and regular chives, with the bite of a green bean. Plus they have a garlicky flavor. This simple stir fry comes together quickly in 10 minutes for about $6; enough for 4 servings. If you don’t eat pork, you can substitute ground beef, chicken, turkey, and even crumbled tofu.
