Main Ingredients- 1 bunch Chives (approx. 150-200g)
Seasoning Ingredients- 2 Tbsp Minced Garlic
- 2 Tbsp Gochugaru (Korean chili flakes, fine)
- 2 Tbsp Fish Sauce (Anchovy)
- 1 Tbsp Rice Syrup or Plum Extract
- 1 Tbsp Sesame Oil
- 1 Tbsp Toasted Sesame Seeds
- 2 Tbsp Minced Garlic
- 2 Tbsp Gochugaru (Korean chili flakes, fine)
- 2 Tbsp Fish Sauce (Anchovy)
- 1 Tbsp Rice Syrup or Plum Extract
- 1 Tbsp Sesame Oil
- 1 Tbsp Toasted Sesame Seeds
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, let’s prepare the essential seasoning for your delicious stir-fried chives. In a bowl, combine 2 Tbsp of minced garlic for a deep flavor, 2 Tbsp of fine gochugaru for a pleasant spiciness, 2 Tbsp of fish sauce for umami, and 1 Tbsp of rice syrup or plum extract for a subtle sweetness and aroma. Mix these ingredients well.
Step 2
To further enhance the dressing’s aroma and taste, add 1 Tbsp of sesame oil and 1 Tbsp of toasted sesame seeds. Stir everything together until the seasonings are evenly combined. This seasoning base is usually on the saltier side. If you prefer a milder flavor, you can add 1-2 Tbsp of water to adjust the consistency.
Step 3
Thoroughly wash the chives and pat them dry. Then, cut them into bite-sized pieces, about 2-3 segments long. Cutting them into manageable lengths will make them easier to eat. It’s best to toss the chives with the seasoning immediately after cutting to maintain their fresh texture, preventing them from becoming too wilted.
Step 4
Place the prepared chives in a large bowl and pour the prepared seasoning over them. Now, gently toss everything together with your hands until the chives are lightly coated with the dressing. Be careful not to overmix, as this can break down the chives. This dish is delicious on its own, but when served with grilled meats like Korean BBQ, it creates a truly fantastic harmony, cutting through the richness and adding a refreshing zest. You can enjoy restaurant-quality flavors right at home!
