Cooking tips
- The white stem part of chives is thicker and has a sharp bite, so cook it alone first to mellow its pungency and achieve balance.
- Scallops become rubbery if overcooked. Use the Chinese 'oil-blanching' technique—briefly cooking in hot oil—to keep them tender.
- Once the chives are in the pan, do not hesitate; stir-fry over maximum heat in a short time to prevent water release and maintain a crisp texture and vibrant green color.
