Stir Fried Bean Sprouts with Chives

This is my other way of cooking chives.  Stir-fried it with bean sprouts and dried anchovies (as I don't buy salted fish).  Instead of scallion, I substituted it with chives.  I guess most of the dishes that uses scallion before can be substituted with chives.  In this case, I used more chives than scallion called for in this dish.

So, when you buy a bunch of chives from the supermarket, you can split in into 2-3 dishes along the week.  One is this, the other is the fried chives eggs, and the leftover you can fried noodle or fried rice with it.  Just substitute it in a dish that you would normally uses scallion.  We should eat for our health most of the times and occasionally indulge in something that we know is not so good.

Ingredients:

• A bowl of washed bean sprouts
• A few bunches of chives, washed and cut into 1.5 inch
• 1/2 carrot, julienne
• 1/4 cup of dried anchovies, rinsed in water and drained
• 2 cloves of garlic, minced
• Few slices of ginger
• Salt to taste
• 1 tsp. chicken stock granules

Method:

1.  Heat up a wok, when heated, add in cooking oil.  Add in dried anchovies, ginger and garlic, fry until fragrant and slightly golden.

2.  Add in carrot, fry until soften, add in bean sprouts and chives, stir-fry quickly to mix.  Add in seasonings, stir-fry well and dish out to serve.
