flailing in my kitchen v3

How can I be sad when I have breakfast, lunch, and dinner?

Garlic Chive Boxes

I'm slowing down the rate that I post here, mostly because it's a lot of work, and there are other things I want to devote more time to. But, I'm still thinking about food a lot and I have big ideas for a fun food challenge that I want to start in the future, and what I'll post about in this blog.

But anyway, that's for the future, and now I want to talk about these awesome Chinese Garlic Chive Boxes from The Woks of Life. One of my favorite foods is garlic chive cake, but that's way above my cooking skill level. But these chive boxes totally seemed doable. They're like a cross between a chive cake and egg rolls!

New mixing bowl.

Getting the filling together was really easy, but wrapping these into little envelopes was a bit of a challenge. We re-wrapped the first ones over and over until they finally looked sort of like the pictures.

I'm not completely sure I love the fact that they're double wrapped. This makes it take longer to cook. Maybe next time I'll just roll them like egg rolls. Also next time I'll use an egg wash to seal the boxes.

I swear I ate these with sriracha, so I have no idea why my plate is completely clean.

They were delicious though! I'll definitely make them again.
