Where it comes from

Củ Chi. Người Lao Động ties the shoot to tầm vông, tre, and trúc in the district. Báo Quốc tế calls it a household plate.

How to enjoy it

Shave and boil the bamboo until ivory, then mix it with boiled belly pork and shrimp, rau răm, fried shallot, and peanuts. Eat it plain, or with fried shrimp crackers and sweet-sour fish sauce.

Another version uses fresh bamboo, belly pork, peeled shrimp, garlic, and chili, and leaves the sauce tossed in or on the side.
