Garlic chives, also known as garlic shoots and Chinese garlic chives, are the young green stalks that grow from garlic.
Farmers used to discard garlic shoots to help the plant focus energy on bulb development. Now they are considered a valuable ingredient with several culinary uses.
Garlic chives are very popular in Asian cooking, especially in Chinese, Vietnamese and Korean cuisine.
Garlic shoots are a versatile ingredient with a mild, sweet flavor and a fresh character. They add a subtle garlic note to dishes without the sharp, biting quality that often characterizes raw garlic cloves.
Their crisp texture, reminiscent of thin asparagus, makes them suitable for a wide range of cooking methods and dishes.
They complement other ingredients without overpowering them and can be used raw in salads for a crunchy texture or quickly cooked in hot dishes, where they become tender but still retain their fresh flavor. This versatility makes them ideal for anything from soups and stir-fries to grilled dishes.
Here are some of the most common uses:
Whether you're a culinary adventurer or looking to expand your vegetable repertoire, garlic chives offer a lovely and flavorful experience that will surely elevate your cooking.
