This kind of bamboo shoot, short and stout, peeled off the rough skin, but it can be seen that the bamboo shoot meat is delicious and tender inside. The bamboo shoot meat tastes fresh, tender, crisp and sweet, and people often can't help but want one bite after another.
I like eating bamboo shoots since I was a child, and my grandfather's cooking is also first-class. He always spends a lot of time on three meals a day, and he cooks all the dishes, whether simple or complicated. In his view, the meal time is a time for family to relax and get together. The food must be taken seriously. Everyone should go home for dinner on time, and no matter who is late, it is the most basic manners and family rules. Therefore, the meal time in my family is always fixed. 8 o'clock is breakfast time, 12 is lunch time, and 7 o'clock is dinner time. When I went out to play as a child, I always saw the time to go home for dinner. I never dared to neglect or keep my family waiting.
Early summer is a good time to eat bamboo shoots. At this time, the weather is just getting hot, and the bamboo shoots in the bamboo forest are getting better and better. With the rain and water washing in early summer, after a night of waiting, the whole bamboo forest exudes the fragrance of earth the next day. At this time, bamboo shoots have been moistened and brewed all night, and the bamboo farmers will be rewarded with the most full bamboo shoots.
Digging bamboo shoots is a hard skill. When I was a child, I heard from my grandfather that when digging bamboo shoots, you should not "surprise" the bamboo shoots. You should find the growth direction of the bamboo shoots, follow the digging and find the main whip of the bamboo shoots. Then you can dig up the bamboo shoots and cut off the connection between the bamboo shoots and the bamboo roots. Don't be rude, so as not to hurt the bamboo roots! Bamboo farmers enter the bamboo forest early to dig bamboo shoots. On the one hand, they want to dig more bamboo shoots after a night of rain and water, because bamboo shoots at this time are the most expensive in the whole year, and they can earn a lot of money that day. On the other hand, I want to catch an early gathering, sell the bamboo shoots early, and cultivate the young bamboo shoots in the afternoon, expecting more harvest tomorrow! After breakfast, every time I hear the familiar shouts, my grandparents always put down their teacups, go to the alley to exchange pleasantries with the familiar bamboo farmers, and then pick two bamboo shoots. The bamboo shoots should be with turquoise tips, and be careful not to have too many thick old bamboo shoots, which should be free from pests and diseases, and the bamboo shoots should be unharmed.
How to cook bamboo shoots is also a skill. Buy fresh bamboo shoots home, remove the black and fluffy shell, reveal the fresh, white and tender bamboo shoots, and rinse them with well water again. It really makes people want to drool. There are various ways to cook bamboo shoots at home, such as stewed duck with bamboo shoots, stewed chicken with bamboo shoots, fish head soup with bamboo shoots, fried rice noodles with bamboo shoots and the simplest fried meat with shredded bamboo shoots. I like to eat all these dishes, but the favorite ones are the bamboo shoot fish head soup and the bamboo shoot fried rice noodles. These two dishes are cooked by shredding bamboo shoots. In the bamboo shoot fish head soup, the fish head is fried in a pan to just the right golden color, then the fish head is put into a boiling water soup pot, and it is stewed carefully with low fire, until the soup becomes milky thick soup, and then the shredded bamboo shoots are put into the soup. Boil the bamboo shoots on high fire for 10 to 15 minutes. If the time is too small, the sweetness of the bamboo shoots will not be integrated into the soup. If the time is too long, the bamboo shoots will become old and hard, losing their original tender and delicious taste. Wait until the fire is turned off, then add a little salt and stir it before serving. Remember that there should not be too much salt and it should not be cooked in the pot. Both of these practices will hurt the original flavor and taste of bamboo shoots. In this way, a bowl of delicious bamboo shoots and fish head soup can satisfy the family's stomach. Stir-fried rice noodles with bamboo shoots is also a common home-cooked dish in Chaoshan area. Bamboo shoots and rice noodles are like natural partners, and they can always hit the most delicious taste. Put a chopstick of bamboo shoots and rice noodles in your mouth and use your taste buds to sense them. You really have to admire them as the most wonderful partners in food. Grandpa always puts the rice noodles in boiling water first to soften them, and then picks them up and puts them aside. This is the hot oil in the wok. When the best time comes, add the shredded bamboo shoots and stir fry them, then add the boiling water, cover the pot and stew them until the fragrance of bamboo shoots comes out, but when there is still a little soup, add a little salt, add the rice noodles and continue to stir fry them, so that the shredded bamboo shoots and rice noodles can be mixed together and coordinated with each other. At this time, we can't tell them apart without looking carefully. I can usually eat two large plates of such delicious fried rice noodles.
Every July and August is the time when hemp bamboo shoots are abundant. This time is also the most lively season to eat bamboo shoots. When it comes to the impression of bamboo shoots, there is another delicious food that is lingering in my mind-that is, the bamboo shoots in my hometown. The glittering and translucent skin reveals the full stuffing inside, and people can't help but reach out and grab one and send it to their mouth. An important point of delicious bamboo shoots is that the skin of bamboo shoots is not sticky. The stuffing of bamboo shoots is diced bamboo shoots, diced meat, dried shrimps and mushrooms. When frying the stuffing, add minced garlic, salt, pepper and monosodium glutamate. The fried stuffing is wrapped with the thin skin and cooked in a steamer, and it becomes the crystal clear bamboo shoots. If you want to bite down in one bite, the skin of the Q bomb and the fragrant and juicy stuffing are mixed together, which really makes people want to stop.
A few days ago, I bought well-processed and beautifully packaged bamboo shoots in the supermarket. When I saw the white and tender bamboo shoots, I thought they should always be good ingredients. When I cooked them at home, the bamboo shoots completely lost their sweet taste and were not crispy to eat. I was thinking about the delicious bamboo shoots in my hometown and grandpa's exquisite craftsmanship while eating with my sister. I was disappointed when I video with my mother. Mother laughed for a while and laughed at my greedy mouth.
Mr. Ye Shengtao once said: "Because there is love in my hometown, and what I love is only in my hometown, I can't give up." For example, close family members are there, and close friends are there. How can we not be attached? How can I not miss it? But just to love my hometown? No, but a few people in my hometown are holding us. If you have nothing to do with it, what do you miss more? As I am now, I am accidentally tied to lotus root and water shield, so I miss my hometown. " Haha, it seems that my homesickness tonight is entirely caused by the bamboo shoots in that hometown!
