There are many recipes that use garlic stems. Do you know what it is in Korean? It’s funny sound. “Maa Neul Zzong”. Hehe, you can practice the pronunciation! Maa neul means garlic.

cynthia,
My recipe for garlic stem side dish which is served at a korean restaurant, is similar to my recipe for potato side dish (gam ja bokkeum with soy sauce). I have never tasted steamed garlic stem side dish.

Thank you very much. Are you the Cynthia living in California?

I have seen recipes for garlic stems or garlic scrapes, but no where can I find how to grow them? Other than a garlic clove in a small glass. What variety makes the long stems that you show under ingredients. Is there a way to do it hydroponically?

Thanks
