Chinese Chives (gow choy) sounds the same as nine veg.. and many people refrain from eating this after having measles or chicken pox because, they believe they’ll get 9 times of that disease if they consume this 9 veg.
When I was a kid, I hated Chinese Chives… the smell was urgh!!!!!
Then grandaunt made this soup.. that was when it changed my opinion about this member of the onion family. It became my next favourite veg.
From a smelly green thingy.. it became the sweetest veg to my tastebuds…
