Garlic chive

Flat, garlicky and built for a hot wok. Goes in at the end and still runs the entire dish.

order · canon first12 pairings for Garlic chive.

Soy sauce

common

Salt and glutamate over a leaf that supplies all the pungency.

Roasted fat clings to the flat blade and carries it further.

Tofu

common

Blank curd takes the garlic note because it contributes nothing.

Fat plus capsaicin, and the leaf keeps it from tasting only hot.

Squid

uncommon

Chewy and sweet under an allium that survives high heat.

Fish sauce

uncommon

Salted funk and green garlic, no dairy and no cooked onion needed.

Fermented soy depth under a raw leaf that cuts straight through it.

Oyster

rare

Guangdong instinct: flat allium against iodine, nothing in between.
