Chances are, your home stove isn't as powerful as the ones at your local Chinese restaurant, in which case a flat-bottomed wok will work best, as it has more contact with the heat than does a rounded one. Ingredients:
1 tablespoon peanut oil |
3/4 lb green garlic chives (also called chinese chives; flat parts only), cut into 1 1/2-inch pieces (4 cups) |
1 teaspoon dried hot red pepper flakes |
rounded 1/4 teaspoon salt, or to taste |
accompaniment: steamed white rice |
Directions:
1. Heat wok over high heat until a drop of water vaporizes instantly upon contact. Add oil, swirling to coat wok evenly, and heat until hot and just smoking. Add chives and red pepper flakes and stir-fry, letting chives rest on bottom and sides of wok several seconds between stirs, until chives are tender and slightly browned, 2 to 4 minutes. Stir in salt. Serve over rice.
