Today we are making Stir fry prawns with garlic chives. I use frozen peeled prawns and garlic chives that I grow in my garden. The garlic chives, or Chinese chives is easy to grow and I have been growing it for the past year. It will die off during winter and will grow again in spring.
Here is the simple and delicious recipe. We only need prawns and garlic chives! Of course, with some seasoning. I harvested the chives simply by cutting it. It needs a good wash. Remove the brown leaves and the bits that stick to the stem. Use plenty of water. It is easier to use a basin of water and shake the chives stems to remove any dirt that stay between the leaves.
I have a lot of chives now as it propagates easily.
I have been growing some broad beans and tomatoes this season and I will share you you my adventure. So look out for more.
