Bamboo shoots (măng)
Baboo shoots are very popular in Vietnamese cuisine. They are always available to make many delicious dishes. When using fresh bamboo sprouts, we have to remove the outside hard crusts, then boil them for 20 minutes until they are no longer bitter and ready to be made. If we use dried bamboo shoots, we must soak them for one night, and then boil them for 15 minutes, change the water and boil twice more, 15 minutes once to remove the bitter flavour, make them crispy and shorten the cooking time.
