How to make dried bamboo shoots

Method 1 of making dried bamboo shoots

1. To make dried bamboo shoots at home, you need to peel the fresh bamboo shoots you harvested, put enough water in the pot, then add the peeled fresh bamboo shoots, cover the pot, and cook over low heat.

2. After the pot boils, continue to cook for ten minutes, then turn off the heat, take out the bamboo shoots from the water, drain the water to cool it down, and then put it in a sunny environment to dry. After about two days, the bamboo shoots will be completely dehydrated, and the homemade dried bamboo shoots will be ready. You can put them away at this time, and soak them in clean water in advance when you want to eat them.

Method 2 for making dried bamboo shoots

1. When making dried bamboo shoots, you can take 10 kilograms of fresh bamboo shoots, 300 grams of table salt, a pot of water, and an electric oven.

2. Remove the shell of the prepared fresh bamboo shoots, rinse them with clean water, and then cut them in half from the middle. If the fresh bamboo shoots you buy are relatively thick, you can divide them into four equal parts.

3. Put clean water in the pot, add table salt, and then heat it to a boil. After boiling, put the processed fresh bamboo shoots in the pot and cook them together. During the cooking process, constantly remove the foam floating on the water. Continue cooking for about ten minutes and then turn off the heat.

4. After the fresh bamboo shoots are cooked, take them out and drain them, then put them on the baking tray of the oven, set the oven temperature to 120 degrees, choose upper and lower fire to bake for one hour, then take them out and turn them over, then put them back in the oven and continue to bake for about an hour. After taking them out again, you will find that the dried bamboo shoots are ready, and the texture is very hard and crisp.

5. Put the prepared dried bamboo shoots in a vacuum bag and seal it for storage. When needed, take out an appropriate amount and soak it in clean water in advance, and then stew it with meat ingredients.
