Comments

It is kind of hard to obtain garlic stalk in American supermarkets. Apparently they’re sometimes called “garlic scapes”. Just go to a Chinese supermarket.

This dish works well with rice (to no one’s surprise…), but also works amazingly as filling between two pieces of toast.

I wrote “garlic stalk” for this, but that can be substituted for by “garlic flower”, “leek”, or “leek flower”, or even “onion”. Although I doubt everything other than the last one is only available in Asian supermarkets.
