You must be seeing more and more unfamiliar Asian vegetables even at supermarket stores. But you don’t try them because you don’t know how to cook them. ’Nira’ (Garlic Chives in Japanese) is a real super food. Why don’t you try it? ‘Nira’ & Egg is a great combination for stir-fry and soup. Here is another recipe that I am sure you would love.
