Haha, they look almost the same, especially yellow hotbed chives and Blanched garlic leaves. To be honest, I haven't had them before.

Paul, it doesn't matter. Just bring yourself some toothpicks. Well, we usually use the mixture of yellow hotbed chives (Chinese chives is ok) and egg to make dumplings. Very delicious!
