Recipe - Garlic-Chive Bundles

1 pound Garlic chives
1/3 cup Fresh ginger minced
2 tablespoon Light soy sauce
1 tablespoon Chinese vinegar, dark
One fourth teaspoon Szechuan hot bean paste
One half teaspoon Sesame oil

Remove papery skins from garlic chives. Wash, pat dry and smooth chives
out.
Blanch garlic chives in boiling water for 15 seconds, until slightly
softened.
Rinse immediately in cold water; drain. Whisk together remaining
ingredients.
Smooth out 1 garlic chive strand. Leaving 1 inch of the root end sticking
out,
roll chive into a circle; twist in half, making a figure eight. Place on a
platter. Continue with remaining garlic chives. Drizzle liquid and ginger
over; serve at room temperature.
