=== China === The leaves are used as a flavoring in a similar way to chives or [[scallion]]s, and as a [[Stir frying|stir fry]] ingredient. They are often used in [[dumpling]]s with eggs, shrimp, and/or pork. A Chinese flatbread similar to the [[Cong you bing|scallion pancake]] may be made with garlic chives instead of scallions. Garlic chives are also one of the main ingredients used with [[yi mein]] dishes. Its flowers are fermented to make [[Garlic Chive Flower Sauce|garlic chive flower sauce]] ({{lang|zh|韭花酱}}). When the leaves of garlic chives are blanched by growing them in dark environments these are called {{Transliteration|cmn|jiǔhuáng}} ({{lang|zh|韭黄}}) or {{Transliteration|cmn|Pinyin|jiǔ cài huáng}} ({{lang|zh|韭菜黄}}), known in English as yellow garlic chives. These are considered a delicacy and are used in various [[Stir frying|stir fry]] dishes.<ref name="FoodPlantsChina">{{Cite book |last=Hu |first=Shiu-ying |title=Food Plants of China |publisher=Chinese University Press |year=2005 |isbn=978-962-996-229-6 |page=53}}</ref> <gallery mode="packed"> File:Jiucai Hezi at Dongsi Minfang Restaurant, Chongwenmen (20220215114852)-cropped.jpg|''[[Jiucai hezi]]'', or chive pockets File:Profile of Jiucai Hezi (20220215115029).jpg|''Jiucai hezi'', cut open File:Rebanira 1.jpg|Stir-fried liver and garlic chives </gallery>
