FLOWERING CHIVES AND PORK SLIVERS RECIPE (韭菜花炒肉丝 | JIǔ CàI HUā CHǎO RòU Sī)
In spring, I make this easy dish at least twice a week. The crunchiness of the flowering chives combined with tender, lightly seasoned pork is irresistible.

Steps:
- Mix together the cornstarch, 1 tsp. of the wine, soy sauce, and pinch of sugar in a medium bowl. Trim any excess fat or skin from the pork and slice it against the grain into short, thin pieces, 1 to 2 inches (2.5 to 5 cm) by ¼ inch (6 mm). Toss the pork with the marinade and let sit for at least 10 minutes but no more than 1 hour.
- Cut the chives into 1- to 2-inch (2.5- to 5-cm) segments. You should have about 4 cups. Set aside.
- Heat a well-seasoned wok over high until smoking. Reduce the heat to medium-high, then add the oil. Once the oil is shimmering, add the ginger and garlic and stir-fry until fragrant. Add the pork and stir-fry until just cooked, 2 to 3 minutes.
- Add the flowering chives, the remaining 2 tsp. of wine, 1½ tsp. sugar, and the salt and fry until aromatic, 1 to 2 minutes. Don't cook the chives for too long, or they lose their crispness!
