Bamboo Shoots – Precooks Preparation

Some Words about it

Bamboo, there are many types or species, a number of scientific names being given.  Some of them are not nice to have a good taste dish on the dining table; some of them are the best for those who are crazy about bamboo shoots dishes.

Those bamboo leaves which are small, thin, narrow in width and short, under normal circumstances, they are not really very good for bamboo shoot taste. Those big, fat and long bamboo leaves, the bamboo shoots, these are my favorite, at least, it is for me.

The Plucking of Bamboo Shoots

Mostly few days after rain, there are baby shoots coming out from the ground near the bamboo parents.  It is my style, a flying kick towards the bamboo shoot grown at about half to one foot height.  A c r a s h i n g sound and there it is, the bamboo shoot waiting for me to pick up.

Peeling off outer layer skin of Bamboo Shoots

Be careful of the fur of the bamboo shoots, it is not to say, the fur would harm you but it makes you itch for the whole day until you wash them off by water.

Precooking Utensils needed (1) Pot of suitable size

Cutting or chopping and Precooking

Step one – Cutting or chopping

The outer layer skin were peeled off, it is still needed to scrap off the inner skin of the bamboo shoots. Thereafter, it is for the cutting and chopping to get started.

Cutting skill, do not cut or chop straight line from the bamboo shoot head to tail, it has to cut across layers by layers from the head to tail.  It is by this way, it gives us the crispy bite.  Should it be not by this way? It is difficult to have crispy feel and instead, it needs o swallow the whole pieces of chopped bamboo shoots. Nothing can our teeth bite and chew the chopped bamboo shoots into paste, feel the sensation of fresh bamboo taste and send them into our stomach.

Step two – Precooking

Naturally it is required to wash the chopped bamboo shoots after scrapping off the inner skin and wash again the chopped pieces before sending for precooking. It is again, naturally do not wash thoroughly until no bamboo taste left behind!!

Placing all the chopped bamboo shoots into the pot, boiling them for a while until the chopped bamboo pieces tuned into yellowish color, it is then done.  Cooling down and placing onto the refrigerator for as long as you wish, however it is not really fresh to have o good taste unless it is cooked immediately.
