Stir Fry Gow Choy Fah ~ Garlic Chives Bud

A few weeks ago while visiting the Avondale Market for the very first time, I chanced upon these garlic chives. What a find ! I love gau choy fah which taste delish simply stir fried with some meat or prawns.

No doubt garlic chives are part of the chive family but they taste quite different to the English version which have a purple flower.
