This dish is in regular rotation in my kitchen in spring. When chive flowers are at their finest, I make this at least twice a week. The crunchiness and juiciness of the flowering chives combined with tender, lightly seasoned pork is irresistible—and it’s quick to make. You’ll be able to find flowering chives at most Asian grocery stores.
