Stir-fry Royale Chives (Qing Long Cai)

Stir-fry Royale Chives (Qing Long Cai) Recipe
There is quite a bit of dirt in these royale chives, so be sure to rinse them thoroughly to get rid of all the soil before cooking.
Ingredients:
- 1 packet (150g) royale chives (青龙菜)
- 1 tbsp oil
- 5 cloves garlic finely chopped
- 4 thin slices ginger sliced to long thin strips
- 3/4 tsp mushroom seasoning powder see cooking note below
- tiny pinch of salt to taste
- 1 tbsp Chinese wine (Hua Tiao/Shaoxing)
Directions:
- Prepare royale chives by cutting them to four uniform sections. Wash the chives thoroughly to get rid of the excess dirt and spin dry.
- Cook aromatics. Heat oil in a wokpan. Add garlic & ginger, cooked briskly until aromatic.
- Add prepared chives and mushroom powder. Stir fry on high heat until half withered. Then drizzle Chinese wine along the walls of the wokpan. Continue stir-frying until the chives are just cooked and still green.
Cooking Note(s):
I use mushroom seasoning powder as a delicious MSG-free seasoning for all my vegetable stir-fries. You can substitute it with appropriate amount of salt, soy sauce or fish sauce.
