Chinese chives

Flat Asian allium

Chinese chives are a variety of chive with flat, broad leaves and a more pronounced garlic flavor than common chives.

A staple in East Asian cooking, they appear in dumplings, stir-fries, and pancakes: Chinese chive dumplings are my favorite dim sum.

Also called garlic chives.
