Instructions

1
The bamboo shoots that my granddaughter brought back from her trip.
2
Peel the spring bamboo shoots, wash them clean, and cut them into large irregular pieces.
3
Cut the salted meat into thick slices and rinse them with warm water.
4
When the water in the pot boils, add the spring bamboo shoots and blanch them briefly before taking them out. This can remove some oxalic acid and bitterness.
5
Blanch the salted meat as well to remove some of the saltiness.
6
Heat oil in a pan, add minced ginger and stir-fry until fragrant, then add salted meat and sauté briefly.
7
Add some cooking wine to remove the fishy smell and enhance the aroma.
8
Add the spring bamboo shoots and stir-fry evenly.
9
Drizzle some light soy sauce, just a little, and add some pepper.
10
Add half a small bowl of water, bring to a boil over medium heat, then simmer over low heat for about 20 minutes.

Add the green garlic, stir-fry evenly, and it can be served on the table to enjoy.
