Ingredients for Stuffed bamboo shoots with pork and tomato sauce Serves 4 people
Bamboo shoots 500 gr (peeled and pre-cooked bamboo shoots) Ground pork 300 gr Tomatoes 3 fruits (cut into wedges) Chopped shallots 40 gr Chili sauce 1 teaspoon Tomato sauce 1 teaspoon Cooking oil 2.5 tablespoons Common seasoning a little (seasoning powder/ monosodium glutamate/ pepper/ salt)
How to choose fresh minced meat
- For whole pieces of pork, you should choose meat that is bright pink, not too red and not too pale. Pieces of pork that are pale, greenish, and have an unusual smell are spoiled and should not be purchased!
- Additionally, you should test the firmness and elasticity of the meat by pressing your finger into it; if the meat springs back immediately, is not slimy, and does not leak water or juice, it is good pork. Otherwise, you should not buy it.
- To avoid dry and greasy dishes, you should choose to buy shoulder meat for grinding.
- You can buy pork to grind at home using a meat grinder or purchase pre-minced meat from supermarkets or reputable stores.

How to prepare Bamboo shoots stuffed with pork in tomato sauce

Mix the pork filling
Put 300g of minced meat together with 20g of minced shallots, 1 tablespoon of seasoning, 1 teaspoon of monosodium glutamate, and 1/2 teaspoon of ground pepper into a bowl, mix well and marinate for about 30 minutes for the filling to absorb the spices.
-
Prepare bamboo shoots
First, lay the bamboo shoot horizontally on a cutting board, then use the tip of a knife to carve straight deep into the inside of the bamboo shoot from the root to the tip to create a round hole of medium size, enough to stuff the meat inside.
Next, add 1 liter of water along with 1 tablespoon of salt and the bamboo shoot that you just carved into a pot, bring to a boil and simmer for about 5 minutes on medium heat to completely remove the bitterness from the bamboo shoot.
Note: If you are using fresh bamboo shoots, after peeling and washing them clean, you need to boil the bamboo shoots for 30 minutes, then discard the boiling water, continue to boil the bamboo shoots for another 15 minutes to ensure all toxins in the bamboo shoots are eliminated before starting the preparation. -
Stuffed bamboo shoots and fry
After boiling the bamboo shoots, take them out, wash them clean with water, drain, and stuff them with marinated meat.
Next, place a pan on the stove, add 2 tablespoons of cooking oil to the pan, and wait until the oil is hot. Then add the stuffed bamboo shoots and fry, turning them evenly over medium heat for about 3 minutes until the sides of the bamboo shoots are golden and slightly firm, then remove to a plate lined with paper towels.
-
Make tomato sauce
To make the tomato sauce, add 1/2 tablespoon of cooking oil along with 20g of minced shallots and 3 tomatoes cut into wedges into the pan, stir evenly over medium heat for about 2 minutes until the tomatoes release their juice, then add 1 teaspoon of ketchup and 1 teaspoon of chili sauce.
Stir evenly over medium heat until the tomatoes are soft, the sauce thickens, and the seasonings dissolve to create a beautiful red color.
-
Cooking bamboo shoots
After the tomato sauce is ready, add the fried bamboo shoots. Cook over medium heat for about 20 minutes for the sauce to soak into the bamboo and for the stuffed meat to cook evenly, then turn off the heat.
Finally, just arrange the cooked bamboo shoots on a plate, drizzle a little tomato sauce on top, and sprinkle some pepper, and we can enjoy it!

Final product
Bamboo shoots stuffed with pork in tomato sauce will have a beautiful red color from the tomato sauce once completed. When eaten, you will taste the sweetness of the pork combined with the soft, delicious taste of the bamboo, and the sauce poured on top is rich and appetizing.

How to choose fresh ingredients
How to choose fresh duck meat
For live ducks
- You should choose ducks with smooth feathers, a rounded breast, and thick skin on the neck and belly. Because these ducks will have more meat.
- In addition, you should pull the two wings of the duck together; if they just cross each other, you should buy it.
- Avoid buying ducks with frizzy feathers as they are in the molting phase and may not be healthy ducks.
For processed ducks
- You should choose freshly slaughtered ducks with skin that is yellow but not too dark, without spots or many bruises on the skin.
- If you press the meat and it has good elasticity, you should buy it. Conversely, if the meat deforms and does not return to its original position, it is likely that the duck has been water-injected, so avoid buying.
- To ensure safety and peace of mind when cooking, you should buy processed duck meat from reputable stores or establishments!
How to choose delicious dried wood ear mushrooms
- You should prioritize choosing mushrooms with large, thick caps and little to no small mushrooms at the base.
- The good mushroom color is a deep amber, with a slightly shiny top and a light coffee color on the underside.
- Limit choosing wood ear mushrooms that look too black, as this type may become mushy when soaked in water and is less crunchy.

How to Prepare Stuffed Bamboo Shoots with Duck Meat in Tomato Sauce
-
Prepare the duck meat
To eliminate the odor from the duck meat, you can use a mixture of salt and white wine to rub on the duck for about 10 minutes, then use a knife to remove the bones and finely chop the skin with the meat.
How to Prepare Duck Meat to Reduce Odor- Method 1: Boil a pot of water with 1 teaspoon of lime (lime used for betel nut) and a little starfruit leaves, then blanch the duck that has been bled in boiling water for 1-2 minutes.
- Method 2: Mix vinegar and salt in the ratio: 2 salt, 1 vinegar, then apply all over the duck, rubbing several times and then rinse thoroughly with clean water.
- Method 3: Rub a few slices of lemon on the duck along with a little salt, then rinse thoroughly with cold water.
-
Prepare the remaining ingredients
Soak the dried mushrooms in water for about 2 hours until they expand, then cut them into small pieces.
How to Properly Prepare Dried Mushrooms- You should soak dried mushrooms in cold water for a maximum of 3 hours. If soaked too long, the toxic substances in the mushrooms will increase, especially the morpholine substance.
- Absolutely do not soak in hot water as hot water will stimulate the toxins in the mushrooms causing food poisoning.
Bamboo shoots are peeled, then boiled in hot water 3 times, each time for 15 minutes. After each boiling, remove and rinse with clean water.
Tomatoes are washed and chopped finely. Green onions and coriander are trimmed and chopped. Shallots are minced.
-
Marinate the duck meat
Put the duck meat along with the chopped green onions and black mushrooms into a bowl, then add 1 teaspoon of monosodium glutamate, 1.5 teaspoons of sugar, 1 teaspoon of fish sauce, 1/3 teaspoon of five-spice powder, and 1/3 teaspoon of pepper. Mix well and marinate for 20 minutes.
Tip: To enhance the flavor of the dish, you should adjust the seasonings according to your family’s taste! -
Stuffing the meat
After the bamboo shoots have drained, use a knife to carve a round hole in the bamboo shoots and then take a sufficient amount of meat to stuff into the holes you just carved.
-
Cooking the bamboo shoots
Add 2 tablespoons of cooking oil and chopped shallots into the pan, sauté evenly until the shallots are fragrant, then add 2 tablespoons of ketchup, 1 tablespoon of chili sauce, 1/2 tablespoon of oyster sauce, 12 teaspoons of fish sauce, 1/2 teaspoon of monosodium glutamate, 1 teaspoon of sugar, and minced tomatoes.
Stir well and cook over medium heat for about 5 minutes until the sauce boils and is evenly colored, then add 1/2 teaspoon of seasoning and 400ml of filtered water. Stir well, then add the stuffed bamboo shoots, cover the lid, and simmer for 20 minutes over low heat.
Finally, open the lid and add a bit of chopped scallions, adjust the seasoning to taste, then turn off the heat.

How to choose fresh, delicious bamboo shoots
- When buying, choose bamboo shoots that do not have yellow leaves, have no spots on the surface, have thin skin, and are not wilted.
- Additionally, clean bamboo shoots will have thin skin, be crunchy, have a lot of water, and have a mild, characteristic fragrance when viewed with the naked eye.
- Do not choose bamboo shoots that are too white or have a yellow-brown color, or that do not stick to your hands when touched and show streaks on the bamboo shoot’s body. Because these bamboo shoots will not be tasty when cooked.
How to properly prepare bamboo shoots to reduce bitterness and eliminate toxins
- Method 1: After peeling the bamboo shoots, boil them in hot water several times and each time you boil, rinse with clean water until the bamboo shoots are soft and have no bitterness left, then start cooking.
- Method 2: Boil the bamboo shoots 2 – 3 times in hot water, then soak them for 2 days in rice washing water. During the 2-day soaking, frequently change the rice washing water to prevent it from fermenting and smelling.
- Method 3: Soak the peeled bamboo shoots in lime water (betel nut lime) for about 30 minutes, then boil several times until the water in the pot is clear and no longer cloudy from the lime water, then wash thoroughly and prepare your dish.
