Step 1
First of all, let’s talk about how to choose winter bamboo shoots with skin. Try to choose curved winter bamboo shoots with skin. The meat inside is plumper than straight ones. Pinch the bottom with your nails. The ones that can be pinched off easily are relatively tender.Step 2
There are nearly 3 kilograms of bamboo shoots with the skin on. After peeling, there is only about one kilogram left.Step 3
Cut it vertically into slices. It should be slightly thicker when stewing. If it is thin, it will affect the taste.Step 4
Boil the water and blanch the sliced bamboo shoots in the potStep 5
Don't take them out after blanching, because winter bamboo shoots contain oxalic acid, which will make your mouth numb when eaten, so you need to cover the pot and simmer for seven or eight minutes. After simmering, there will be some white floating matter floating in the water. Take out and set asideStep 6
Now there is this kind of fresh Chaotian pepper, which has a spicy flavor inside, not the dry and hot feeling of dried pepper. Of course, if you can’t eat spicy food, you can omit the chili pepper.Step 7
Accessories: pork belly, fresh pepper segments, fresh garlic sprouts (called green garlic in the south), carrotsStep 8
Heat the oil and add the chili and pork bellyStep 9
Stir-fry the pork belly until it is about 70% cooked. Take out the blanched winter bamboo shoots, drain the water and pour it into the pot. Stir-fry. Add light soy sauce. (Light soy sauce is used to enhance freshness and has a strong salty taste. If you add light soy sauce, do not add it. (I usually use light soy sauce and omit the MSG.)Step 10
Stir-fry briefly and add the sliced carrots, cover the pot and simmer over medium heat for about 5 minutes (because winter bamboo shoots are relatively tender, longer stewing time will affect the texture and taste)Step 11
After simmering, add the garlic sprouts, add dark soy sauce to adjust the color, and finally stir-fry, then it is ready to serve.Step 12
A plate of pork belly and braised winter bamboo shoots that is full of color, flavor and flavor is ready to eat. The fresh chili peppers are very spicy and the garlic sprouts enhance the flavor. One bite will leave you with an endless aftertaste. If you like it, make a plate of it to comfort yourself.
