Thank you for making this recipe popular on 1/18/18! This dish goes great with rice and pairs well with beer. The aroma of garlic chives really stimulates your appetite.
Recipe background:
I had some garlic chives left over and was thinking of ways to use them. By mixing them into chicken meatballs, I thought it would give a yakitori dish a bit of a Chinese or dumpling-like flavor, so I decided to try it.
