| After preliminary processing, let the bamboo shoots cool before hanging them up high. When you need to eat them, just take them down and process them. This secret not only preserves the bamboo shoots for a long time but also does not lose their sweetness. Since ancient times, bamboo shoots have become a daily dish on every Thai people's dinner table. Although bamboo shoots are abundant, they are not available in all seasons. Therefore, to have food during the cold, rainy season and famine, people often pick bamboo shoots when they are in season and do not preserve them for long-term use. "Almost every family applies this secret," she added to Quy. Photo: Dinh Tuan. |
