Leek box

Overview

Onions in the first month and leeks in the second month. It is said that the second month of the lunar calendar is the best time to eat leeks. Leeks have the effect of insulating the human body, dispersing blood stasis, nourishing the liver and kidneys, warming the waist and knees, aphrodisiac and strengthening essence. It's the beginning of spring, and the first crop of leeks is on the market. Let's quickly start making leek boxes. This is the most satisfying version I have made after several versions. The skin is thin, golden and crispy, and the chive filling is crispy and tender, very delicious.
