Taste

VnExpress says the sour bamboo smells fragrant once the chicken is soft, and that cooks scatter crushed forest pepper on the plate before eating.

How to enjoy it

Peel the bamboo shoots, slice them thin, and salt them in a covered jar for about two weeks. Squeeze them dry.

Stir them into chicken that has already been seasoned. VnExpress says the Ma cook keeps an even fire so the meat and the shoots soften without burning, about 30 to 45 minutes.

Where to try it
