Garlic Chives are not a herb for many Asians. They are a vegetable and I purchase them in a fairly large bunch. I used 40g of them for this dish. 40g Garlic Chives would look too much for 1 serving. However, the volume of Garlic Chives would be reduced a lot when cooked. I recommend to cook a reasonable amount. This is another dish that you can cook with 1 small can of Tuna. Chicken OR Pork can be used instead of Tuna.

  1. Combine all the Sauce ingredients in a small bowl.
