Tips to make food more delicious
The secret of the dish lies in the sour bamboo shoots. You should choose fresh, tender and firm bamboo shoots. After removing the old splinter, shred them and wash them, soak them in rice water. Change the water once a day, after about 3-4 days, the bamboo shoots will be soft, white and have a natural sour taste. This method not only makes the bamboo shoots more delicious but also preserves them for a long time.
Fried onions served with it, if made from shallots, will be more fragrant and crispy, making the dish more attractive.
