I haven’t cooked meat for a few days. My friends, big and small, are all yelling, "No meat is not happy". This is greedy again. I told them that I don’t cook a lot of meat every day. They answered: Not addictive!
The two sons in the family can really eat.

I don't think there are still some dried bamboo shoots, but they were given by my friend last year. They are very economical, so I brought a bag of them. My mother loves to eat. When I went back, I gave them more than half. There is no such thing in the north, and the food is quite fresh.

Although the time is a little longer, I can't bear to throw it away when it looks good. My husband and I also like to eat dried bamboo shoots, especially when cooked with pork belly. It is chewy and fragrant. It tastes better than meat.

After eating, I still chatted with my husband. Where can I find them? Let’s buy more, but I didn’t eat enough!

Tips:
Tips for Mom:
1 Stir-fried pork belly will produce a lot of oil, so you can pour out some, and use it for cooking next time. It should not be too oily
2 Put after salt, the meat will not burn
3 The amount of pork belly and dried bamboo shoots can be determined by personal preference. If you like meat, add more meat, and if you like dried bamboo shoots, add more dried bamboo shoots.
4 Just add a little vegetable oil when sautéing the meat, the pork belly will still be oily, so it will not stick to the pan.
