: : Bamboo Shoots : :
Apologies for the delay. Here is the pic of the delicious Bamboo Shoots cooked in Coconut Milk that was on the Menu of Hope posting.
Here is the recipe again:
1/2 kilo of bamboo shoots (no kidding, bamboo shoots are just plain heavy)
1 packet of dry coconut milk powder (no need to dump everything.
should be added based on people’s tastes as too much may seem too
rich)
some belachan @ dried prawn paste (cut a small piece 1 cm x 2 cm)
hot water
1-2 chillis
3-5 peppercorn
salt to taste
Boil the bamboo shoots in water until the color becomes yellow and
bamboo is soft. Throw away the yellow water. If you intend to store
the bamboo shoots in the fridge for cooking the
next day, put it in a
bowl of water and store in fridge.
Pound the belachan, cillis and peppercorn together.
In a bowl, mix coconut milk powder in hot water.
Mix everything into a pot and boil.
Add salt to taste. note : do not add coconut milk all at one go but
enough that you like what u taste.
I do hope that you enjoy it. It goes extremely well with rice but mind you, very rich as well.
