If you’re new to ramps, they’re a wild allium related to garlic, scallions, and leeks, and they’ve got a strong garlicky-onion flavor. Kai Jiao (Thai omelette) is the perfect canvas to let them shine. Ramps are native to the northeastern U.S. and only around for a short window, so if you spot them, this is a delicious way to put them to use.
