Spring in Auckland is particularly short.-
It is now the tail of spring, and in the late spring, a hundred flowers are competing for glory.
In spring, not only are there beautiful views to enjoy for free, but there are also delicious foods to enjoy for free.
Recent rains have been particularly heavy.
As the saying goes, "spring rain is as expensive as oil", let's go to the bamboo forest after the rain to dig up spring shoots, and make a simple home-cooked stir-fry by the way: braised bamboo shoots in oil.
First of all, where to find bamboo shoots?
Bamboo is propagated asexually. It mainly grows small bamboo shoots first on the roots, and then grows into bamboo shoots. Therefore, bamboo is in pieces, and where there are bamboo forests, there are bamboo shoots, especially after the rain in spring. As the saying goes, "mushrooms after the rain", it means that the spring shoots grow particularly fast and are particularly good during this time.
Found the bamboo forest, how to pick a good bamboo shoots?
Bamboo likes shade, so there are more bamboo shoots in the bamboo forest behind the sun. Spring shoots that have just broken through the soil taste particularly delicious, so they often hide in the dirt, under the leaves. You need to use a shovel to peel open and dig a little deeper around the bamboo shoots.
When the bamboo shoots are broken, they will make a crisp "popping" sound, revealing the tender white bamboo meat, which is the top of the meat; the yellow meat is the middle quality; the green meat is the bottom product.
In addition, dig bamboo shoots, don't be greedy, just enough to eat
Bamboo shoots are rich in rich plant protein and water for a long time, losing their umami taste and easy to spoil secondly;
Bamboo shoots are cold and sweet, and there is more fiber, which causes a certain burden on the stomach and intestines, and cannot be eaten more at one time.
How to eat the bamboo shoots that have just been dug up?
Due to its tender meat, it is well hydrated. Can be meated and paired with a variety of meats. Cocoa, paired with a variety of seasonal vegetables. I prefer to put it directly in the oil pan and make it into oil stewed bamboo shoots. Enjoy the taste of the spring.
After pulling out the bamboo shoot shell, first crush its roots, and then cut the hob, which is easier to taste.
Fresh bamboo shoots contain a lot of oxalic acid, add salt to boiling water and blanch for about five minutes to remove its astringency.
The hot pot is then poured into the cold oil, and the bamboo shoots that have been crushed absorb more oil, and the oil should be put more.
Add the bamboo shoots after blanching.
Wait for the skin of the bamboo shoots to be slightly browned and out of the pan.
Confucius said: From time to time, do not eat. It means that seasonal wild game is the most nourishing to the body.
Wait a minute, it's old.
Hurry up and dig a little by the bamboo forest, and have a plate
