I have Garlic Chives growing in the garden and also in a pot. This plant is very tough and never dies. It just spreads and grows. Today I picked some and cooked with Pork Mince. I often season with Oyster Sauce, but I used Gochujang (Korean Spicy Miso) and Soy Sauce today. It was a simple stir-fry. I made it into a rice bowl as I always eat it with Rice. Ahhh… it was yummy.
