Stir-Fried Flowering Chives image

This is a very traditional and authentic tasting chinese side dish. Its my 5 year old sons favorite and I often cook this to accompany other asian influenced dishes. Flowering Chives can be found in the produce section at any good asian grocer however if you can't get flowering chives, you could substitute for regular chives.
