This is a very traditional and authentic tasting chinese side dish. Its my 5 year old sons favorite and I often cook this to accompany other asian influenced dishes. Flowering Chives can be found in the produce section at any good asian grocer however if you can't get flowering chives, you could substitute for regular chives. Ingredients:
1 -2 bunch flowering chives |
2 tablespoons peanut oil |
2 tablespoons oyster sauce |
3 tablespoons water |
1 teaspoon cornflour (cornstarch) |
1 teaspoon sugar |
Directions:
1. 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.
