PAN-FRIED CHIVE FLOWERS
This is a great side dish to meat or fish. It's very easy to make and a good way to use up all those purple flowers that chives make. Make sure when you pick them that the flowers are still young and tender.

STIR-FRIED FLOWERING CHIVES
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.

FLOWERING CHIVES AND PORK SLIVERS RECIPE (韭菜花炒肉丝 | JIǔ CàI HUā CHǎO RòU Sī)
In spring, I make this easy dish at least twice a week. The crunchiness of the flowering chives combined with tender, lightly seasoned pork is irresistible.

Steps:
- Mix together the cornstarch, 1 tsp. of the wine, soy sauce, and pinch of sugar in a medium bowl. Trim any excess fat or skin from the pork and slice it against the grain into short, thin pieces, 1 to 2 inches (2.5 to 5 cm) by ¼ inch (6 mm). Toss the pork with the marinade and let sit for at least 10 minutes but no more than 1 hour.
- Cut the chives into 1- to 2-inch (2.5- to 5-cm) segments. You should have about 4 cups. Set aside.
- Heat a well-seasoned wok over high until smoking. Reduce the heat to medium-high, then add the oil. Once the oil is shimmering, add the ginger and garlic and stir-fry until fragrant. Add the pork and stir-fry until just cooked, 2 to 3 minutes.
- Add the flowering chives, the remaining 2 tsp. of wine, 1½ tsp. sugar, and the salt and fry until aromatic, 1 to 2 minutes. Don't cook the chives for too long, or they lose their crispness!
