Stir-fried Bacon with Spring Bamboo Shoots
1.
Peel off the shell of the spring bamboo shoots and cut off the lignified roots. Don't wash.
2.
Cut the bamboo shoots into two or three millimeters thick.
3.
Boil a pot of water. After the water is boiled, pour in the bamboo shoots and cook for a minute or two.
4.
Remove the blanched bamboo shoots and drain the water.
5.
Re-add clean water to the pot, wash the bacon, scrape it with a knife, cut a few sections, and let the pot under cold water. Let the water boil and cook for another five minutes. You can cook more at a time, put the rest in the refrigerator, and cook it next time without cooking.
6.
Pick up the cooked bacon and let cool.
7.
Take 2 small pieces of bacon and slice it. Put the rest in the refrigerator.
8.
Wash the green garlic and dried peppers, shake them dry, and chop them.
9.
Pour a proper amount of oil in the pan, pour the fat bacon and stir-fry, then add a little oil, then pour in the lean bacon and stir-fry twice. The bacon will be fragrant after frying, so it won’t be a long time.
10.
Then pour in the bamboo shoots and stir fry.
11.
Add a bowl of water, cover and simmer for five minutes.
12.
Taste the saltiness, add some salt, minced green garlic and dried chili, stir fry and mix well, open the lid and cook for a minute or two.
13.
Lift the pot and serve it on the plate.
Tips:
1. I'm not good at picking spring bamboo shoots. I only know that if you pinch the roots with your hands, it will be tender if you can pinch them in easily. Don't have black patches on the outer shell, that would be bad, and the whole bamboo shoot is dry and not sticky. And pinch the shells of the bamboo shoots with your hands. If it feels loose and soaked, it looks large and light. It means that the bamboo shoots are very small, and they are basically bamboo shells. Don't buy them.
2. Fresh bamboo shoots should be blanched because they contain oxalic acid and have astringent taste.
3. Bamboo shoots contain a lot of crude fiber, so people with weak gastrointestinal digestion ability should eat less.
