How to peel small bamboo shoots?
1, take out fresh small bamboo shoots, hold the roots with your left hand, hold the head with your right hand, wrap the tip of bamboo shoots around your index finger, and then turn your left hand clockwise to keep the shell tightly wrapped around your index finger until the shell falls off.
2. Turn the peeled bamboo shoots to the other side (turn to 180 degrees), and remove the remaining bamboo shoots in the same way. Generally, it only takes 10 second to peel one, which is very simple for people who know it, and they need to practice more if they can't.
3. After peeling, some tender leaves or teeth may remain, all of which are edible. You can go or not. At that time, you should pinch the roots with your nails. If you can't pinch them, you will prove that you are old, and then go up to everything until you can pinch them. Get rid of the old ones.
4, peeled bamboo shoots are packed in plates. Generally, before frying and cooking, you should first boil the pot with water, and it is best to cook it thoroughly. Rinse it with water after cooking, or rinse it for a while to remove the peculiar smell of bamboo shoots.
Preservation of small bamboo shoots
Sand storage method: prepare waste wooden cases or cardboard boxes, spread 8 cm wet sand on the lower part, put small bamboo shoots with their tips facing upwards in the boxes, fill them with wet sand, pat them down, cover them with 8 cm wet sand, compact them tightly, and put them in a low-humidity, dark and windless place. This method can be kept for 30-50 days, up to 2-3 months.
Sealing storage method: put the bamboo shoots into the jar or bag, and tie the jar mouth or bag mouth tightly to reduce the evaporation of water. The bamboo shoots themselves can breathe, and the discharged carbon dioxide can naturally reduce oxygen and inhibit the intensity of breathing, so it has the function of preservation. This method can be stored for 30 ~ 50 days.
How to choose small bamboo shoots
When selecting small bamboo shoots, we should look at the color, choose the dark yellow shell, the surface is clean, smooth and complete, and also look at the body shape. Choose the small bamboo shoots with flat heads and curved bamboo shoots with the best quality.
