Braised Pork with Dried Bamboo Shoots

Dried bamboo shoots have a slight bitter taste. If cooked alone, they can be dry and hard to swallow. Therefore, they are usually paired with meat. The best and perfect partner for dried bamboo shoots is the versatile pork belly. With the richness of pork belly, the dish immediately becomes flavorful, fresh, and crisp. Since dried bamboo shoots absorb a lot of oil, they can soak up enough oil from the broth, while the pork belly becomes tender and not greasy. Both ingredients complement each other, creating a delicious dish! Let's take a look at the recipe below!
