Leek Flower Sauce

A condiment made from the Chinese Leek Flower, a long thin and very narrow stem that grows a tiny flowering bulb at the top of the stem. Produced to harvest both the stem and the bulb, the Chinese Leek Flower is processed into a condiment that is served over rice dishes or with lamb dishes such as boiled mutton. The Chinese Leek Flower, which is also known as the Chinese Chive, provides a garlic-like flavor with a chive overtone, thus the Leek Flower Sauce adds a similar flavoring when served with meat and rice.
