Chive Blossom Stir-Fry with Eggs: A Simple Guide

Chive blossom stir-fry with eggs is a quick, flavorful dish that celebrates fresh ingredients. Here’s a simple guide to making it perfectly.

Ingredients:

- 1 cup fresh chive blossoms, washed and chopped

- 2 large eggs, beaten

- 2 cloves garlic, minced

- 1 tbsp cooking oil

- Salt to taste

- Optional: A pinch of sugar or light soy sauce for depth

Steps:

1. Prep the blossoms: Trim tough stems from chive blossoms and chop into 1-inch pieces. Rinse gently and drain well.

2. Beat the eggs: In a bowl, whisk eggs with a pinch of salt until frothy.

3. Cook the eggs: Heat oil in a wok over medium heat. Pour in the eggs and scramble until just set. Remove and set aside.

4. Stir-fry the blossoms: Add more oil if needed, sauté garlic until fragrant. Toss in chive blossoms, stir-frying for 1–2 minutes until they soften slightly.

5. Combine: Return the scrambled eggs to the wok. Mix gently with the blossoms, season with salt (and optional soy sauce/sugar), and stir-fry for another 30 seconds.

Tips: For extra color, add a diced red chili. Serve hot with rice as a light, aromatic meal. This dish highlights the delicate, oniony flavor of chive blossoms, balanced by the richness of eggs—perfect for a simple yet satisfying home-cooked dish.
