My mother said, " You need to open up the pau pan phyu (Sesbania grandiflora) to remove the yellow tips (anther, I guess) and then wash it."

I was interested to find out the names for flower parts and found the following picture with parts being labeled. If you are interested to know, you can take a look. I got it from this google image link.

Heat cooking pot over a medium heat.

Add 2 tablespoon of cooking oil.

Once the oil is heated, add in the coarsely chopped fresh chives.
