Stir-fry

Notes
Note: Do not cover the wok when stir-frying Chinese chives, as this will cause them to turn yellow and lose their flavor. Additionally, Chinese chives work well as a side ingredient and can be stir-fried with dried tofu strips, mung bean sprouts, shredded pork, and other ingredients.
