This food is made by peeling the winter bamboo shoots, cutting them into pieces, and then blanching them in water to remove harmful substances in the bamboo shoots. The blanched bamboo shoots are then steamed with bacon. The steamed winter bamboo shoots and bacon taste very fragrant. Friends who like to eat winter bamboo shoots steamed with bacon can try it. Winter bamboo shoots can promote our gastrointestinal digestion and are a relatively simple ingredient.

How to make steamed bamboo shoots with bacon

I really like the aroma of bacon. The bacon that you pickle yourself is different. The bacon you buy turns white after steaming. Only after it is pickled and dried in a ventilated place will it have this look that makes you drool. The sliced ​​basil and bamboo shoots slices are steamed together and the taste is very fragrant. The bamboo shoots slices have absorbed the juice of the bacon. Try it.

The main ingredients of this dish are 1 piece of bacon (200 grams), 2 spring bamboo shoots, 4 slices of ginger, 1 tablespoon of rice wine, 1 tablespoon of light soy sauce, and a little white sugar.

The specific steps are as follows: wash the bacon with warm water and cut into thin slices; peel the bamboo shoots and slice them obliquely; drain the bamboo shoots; add ginger slices between the bacon and the bamboo shoots and place them in a bowl; pour rice wine, light soy sauce and sugar; steam in a pressure cooker for about 12 minutes. At the same time, we should pay attention to cutting the spring bamboo shoots in half with a knife, and the skin will fall off naturally, making it easy to remove the skin; blanching the bamboo shoots in water can reduce the oxalic acid content; arranging the bacon and spring bamboo shoots on a plate apart can allow the aroma of the meat to penetrate into the bamboo shoots; there is no need to add additional water, and water vapor will fall down when the bowl is not covered during steaming; steam in a pressure cooker for about 12 minutes, and in an ordinary steamer the time will be extended accordingly.

Nutritional value of steamed bamboo shoots with bacon

Bacon is pickled with salt, also known as pickled meat, salted meat, and cured meat. Bacon is a popular food. It is very popular among consumers because it tastes delicious and can be preserved for a long time. Salted pork has the effects of stimulating appetite, dispelling cold, and helping digestion. Pork tastes sweet and salty, and is neutral in nature. It enters the spleen, stomach, and kidney meridians; it tonifies the kidney and nourishes blood, nourishes yin and moistens dryness; it is mainly used to treat damage to body fluid due to febrile disease, thirst and emaciation, kidney deficiency and weakness, postpartum blood deficiency, dry cough, constipation, tonifies deficiency, nourishes yin, moisturizes dryness, nourishes liver yin, moisturizes the skin, promotes defecation and stops thirst. Pickled meat is rich in phosphorus, potassium, and sodium, and also contains fat, protein and other elements. During the pickling process of meat, a certain amount of protein is lost. In addition, since the addition of salt can cause water to be extracted from fresh meat and the meat to be partially dehydrated, it will lead to the loss of some water-soluble vitamins such as B vitamins, and there will also be a certain degree of loss of inorganic salts.

Bamboo shoots have been regarded as a "treasure among vegetables" in my country since ancient times. In terms of nutrition, many people in the past believed that although bamboo shoots taste delicious, they have little nutritional value. Some even believed that "eating a meal of bamboo shoots requires three days of fat loss." This understanding is inaccurate. In fact, bamboo shoots are rich in protein, amino acids, fat, carbohydrates, calcium, phosphorus, iron, carotene, and vitamins B1, B2, and C. Every 100g of fresh bamboo shoots contains 9.79g of dry matter, 3.28g of protein, 4.47g of carbohydrates, 0.9g of cellulose, 0.13g of fat, 22mg of calcium, 56mg of phosphorus, and 0.1mg of iron. The content of multiple vitamins and carotene is more than double that of Chinese cabbage. Moreover, the protein content of bamboo shoots is relatively superior. It contains certain contents of lysine, tryptophan, threonine, phenylalanine, which are essential to the human body, as well as glutamate which plays an important role in protein metabolism and cysteine ​​which plays a role in maintaining protein configuration. It is an excellent health vegetable.
