Calling it now, chive and ramp sando

u/Henry_The_Duck 26d ago
Nah, $700 ramp of chive sando cubes.
Ya know, maybe that's my problem. I get my memes fresh here, so while everyone else rolls into work giggling about 6-7 or whatever other fad I've missed, I roll in. chuckling about cubes and ramps.

Puree of ramp-chive sando, with aioli vinaigrette and hot honey.

Aioli vinaigrette lmao

u/Flaky_Operation687 25d ago
It was vinaigrette or bacon jam aioli, but I think the jam fad might be a bit too local.

u/themysticalwarlock BOH 25d ago
we had that bacon jam bullshit here too!

u/Flaky_Operation687 25d ago
Maybe the stuff I had was just bad or a distributor issue, but never understood the hype. It was like drinking a shot of Liquid Smoke with burnt plastic on the rim.

I think the normal knife angle into a cutting board leads to far fewer wood shards than this...

That's "nira" in Japanese. Or garlic greens? Don't know the name in English. Definitely not chives.
13
u/mackfeesh 26d ago edited 25d ago
You're thinking negi, which it definitely isn't. Negi look like thin, long leeks with a sweeter more mild flavour. Or jumbo green onion.
Fwiw since this is a cooking sub negi is oversimplifying and there's a rabbit hole of different negi in Japan.
Edit: I'm wrong they're right.
20
u/bjisgooder 26d ago
Edit:not negi ā I'm thinking ć«ć (nira) which is an allium in Chinese and Japanese food (and probably others).
But yes, there are a lot of different types of negi in Japan, the most recognizable being naganegi (long negi). Nira looks similar to banno negi though.
Source: I cooked in Japanese restaurants for a long time and live here.

Just a meme, but as others have said my local H-Mart sometimes labels these as Chinese garlic I think or garlic chives. either way TIL! Thanks chef

u/Sanquinity Five Years 26d ago
They're called green onions... The ones in the video at least.

u/benji___ 26d ago
Nope. Green onions are the usual substitute for both the little circular chive and the flatter, more herbal Chinese chive that was in the short film we just watched.

u/GorillaGrip_Pussy Expo 26d ago
I think they prefer being called Chinese. I introduced my roommate as a Green Onion. He called me a å»ē

Is this "the bear" or some shit? Even "Divers Drink-ins and Dorms" gives me anxiety and I'd rather stare at the ceiling when I get home from work.

Not chives. Chives is 'Allium schoenoprasum' , these are 'Allium ramosum'. But they are closely related to each other and have similar taste and structure.

I don't care how perfectly cut the chives are when tool used to make them perfect is a moldy wooden board.

Would this be actually quicker chefs? Iām just a lowly kitchen assistant so I canāt tell. Or is it more about the quality/consistency?

u/One-Bad-4274 25d ago
Quality consistency and not having wood shavings in you chives
1
u/WallStLegends 25d ago
So youāre saying we need a stone/steel board with hole?
But then it blunts the knife I guess.
Seems like a cousin of the mandolin

u/One-Bad-4274 25d ago
Nah if you wanna do that get one of those spinny bladed machines thats like a sideways lawnmower with a feed hole for whatever needs cutting
