Today @justinparke went to town and he saw people selling lemongrass, bamboo shoots, and green vegetables near the road. He bought them to come back home. I am glad to see them.
Then I go to buy coconut milk to make bamboo curry for lunch and to share with you all. I have not eat bamboo shoots for a long time already. I love to cook them with different recipes.


👩🍳 Bamboo Shoots Curry (Ital) Recipe 🔪
វិធីធ្វើសម្លខ្ទិះទំពាំងបួស

Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups bamboo shoots after cook
- 200g tofu
- green vegetables (a little or as you like)
- 2 lemongrass stalks
- 2 kaffir lime leaves
- 1 small piece galangal
- 1/2 tsp turmeric power
- 1/2 red onion
- 3 dried chilies
- 3 candlenuts
- 3 cloves garlic
- 1 tsp salt or taste
- 2 tbsp brown sugar
- 2 tbsp soy sauce
- basil as you like
- 1 cup water

👉🏼 If we have fresh bamboo shoots we need to slice them and boil until cooked, then remove the water. For sweet bamboo shoots it’s okay to keep the water.
For green vegetables we can put and kind we like. When I lived in Cambodia I loved to use climbing wattle, ivy gourds, and amaranth leaves in this recipe. My country has these vegetables and I miss them so much.
