The Least Useful Guide to Fukuoka

You may well have come across Chinese chives at Chinese restarant. They look quite similar to your chive, but the flavour (or the smell, to be more precise) is much stronger. They smell like a mix of garlic and onion. And here we have Chinese chive flower. You can taste the crispy stems only in limited season (end of July-Sep.) When stair-fried with a few drops of sesame oil and a teaspoonful of oyster sauce, they taste fabulous. But be sure to brush your teeth after eating them otherwise you must lose your friends.
