Thai chives 300g

540069

This exotic herb, also known as Chinese chives, is distinguished by its flat, ribbon-like stems of a deep green colour, offering a more pronounced and lingering garlicky flavour than common chives. Selected by Le Delas for the firmness of its fibres and its unique aromatic profile, this herb is an essential technical ingredient for bringing authentic Asian flavour and an interesting texture to contemporary culinary creations. Aromatic profile, use and storage: ► Culinary uses: A signature ingredient in Pad Thai and wok stir-fries, it blends perfectly into dim sum fillings, pho-style broths or Asian-style omelettes. ► Presentation and texture: Its firmer structure compared to classic chives allows it to be used to create decorative bundles or to add a crunchy finish to meat or fish tartares. ► Preparation: Unlike its European cousin, Thai chives withstand brief stir-frying, which brings out their mild garlic notes; they can also be eaten raw, finely sliced on the diagonal for a professional finish. ► Storage: Store in a positive-temperature cold room, ideally wrapped in breathable film or a damp cloth, to preserve the turgidity of the stems and prevent them from drying out prematurely.
