Kim Dae-seok's Garlic Chives Steamed

Recipe 🍳

Cooking tips 💡

• Always trim the tough ends (the swollen tips) of the garlic chives when preparing them—this ensures a neat, clean appearance.
• Blanching briefly with soju and sea salt eliminates the characteristic pungent and sharp flavors while preserving the chives' natural sweetness.
• When coating the chives with flour, a slight amount of moisture helps the flours adhere evenly and prevents them from sliding off.
• Season the chives while they're still lukewarm—not fully cooled—so the seasoning penetrates deeply and evenly.
