Chives Chives Chives

My neighbour keeps giving me fresh cut Chinese chives from his garden. They are different from garlic chives.  They have a mild taste.  I gave some to a friend but decided to be creative and put the rest to good use as pictured below. It does add flavour to the dishes.  I debated on freezing some, but things tend to stay in the freezer forever as clutter.

Even added some chives to my salad

Chinese Chive and Egg soup

And you will remember I had made these chive chips.



They turned into this roasted chive and egg soup and it was so flavourful and delicious.


As you can see we have a 'no waste' policy!

I always loved fresh chives too. You can just lay them out to dry too, then you can fill up a jar of dried chives for later
