Ingredients needed 🛒2 servings

  • garlic chives 1 handful
  • minced meat 100g
  • dried chili peppers 4 pieces
  • vegetable oil 2 tablespoons
  • oyster sauce 1 tablespoon

Recipe 🍳

  1. Wash the garlic chives thoroughly, trim off both ends, and cut into bite-sized pieces.
  2. Lightly crush the dried chili peppers with your hand or the back of a knife to release their spicy flavor.
  3. Heat vegetable oil in a pan, add the minced meat, and stir-fry until evenly cooked and no longer clumping.
  4. Once the meat is cooked, add 1 tablespoon of oyster sauce and the crushed dried chilies, stirring to coat the meat evenly.
  5. Add the sliced garlic chives and quickly stir-fry over high heat until well combined with the sauce.
  6. Continue stir-frying for about 1 minute until the garlic chives are slightly crisp yet tender.
  1. Chop garlic chives finely and lightly crush the dried chilies.
  2. Heat oil in a pan, stir-fry minced meat, then add oyster sauce and chilies to build aroma.
  3. Add garlic chives and quickly stir-fry until they just begin to wilt.

Cooking tips 💡

  • Crushing dried chilies before stir-frying helps release their spicy compounds into the oil, creating a clean, authentic Chinese-style spiciness.
  • Adjust the texture of garlic chives to preference—shorter cooking keeps them crisp, while longer cooking makes them softer.
  • Serve on top of rice as a bowl dish, or pair with plain bread like flower bread or sandwich bread for a satisfying contrast.
