Garlic Scape
Garlic Scapes are the bean-like flowering shoots produced by specialty varieties of garlic known as “hard-neck.” The white “soft-neck” garlic found at most retail does not produce a scape. However, half of China’s garlic production is devoted to the scape, not the bulb crop, as it is a staple in stir fry.
The texture of this delectable vegetable is meaty and very rich as it absorbs other seasonings and oils easily. Serve as a stand-alone side dish, or combine with shrimp or chicken as a sauté ingredient. Introduce your dinner guests to something new that the Chinese have been enjoying for centuries. Shelf-life: six weeks in refrigeration.
