Prepare Ingredients
To reduce the toxins in bamboo shoots, after purchasing, you cut the bamboo shoots into finger-length pieces and boil them for about 10 – 15 minutes, without covering the pot to allow the toxins to evaporate. After that, rinse with cold water and drain.
Effective Tips for Boiling Bamboo Shoots to Remove Toxins:
Method 1: To effectively remove toxins, you should boil the bamboo shoots and rinse them clean 2 – 3 times. Then, soak the bamboo shoots in rice water for 2 days before using them for cooking.
Method 2: Peel the bamboo shoots and soak them in lime water for about 15 minutes, then rinse clean and boil the bamboo shoots in pot a few times until the water in the pot is clear.

Clean the chicken leg mushrooms and cut them into quarters. Wash the green onions, cut 2 stalks into small pieces, and cut the remaining ones into lengths of about 2 – 3 finger widths. Blanch the green onion leaves in hot water and then take them out to tie the meat.
Buy pork belly or shoulder, wash it with salt, rinse well, then slice it thinly lengthwise, and let it drain.
Tips for Cleaning Pork Properly and Removing Odor:
- Method 1: To effectively remove odor, soak the pork in rice water for 15 minutes and then rinse thoroughly.
- Method 2: The meat will be clean and odor-free if you rub crushed ginger on the pork belly and let it sit for 5 minutes, then rinse with water.

Rolling the pork
Lay the pork on a plate and sprinkle a layer of tapioca flour on the pork to create adhesion between the pork, bamboo shoots, and mushrooms.
Sequentially place a piece of bamboo shoot, a piece of mushroom, and then roll the pork into a circular shape, using green onion leaves to secure the bamboo shoot roll so it doesn’t come undone while cooking. Continue doing this until all the pork is used up.

Frying the meat
Place a pan on the stove, add 2 tablespoons of cooking oil and lightly fry the rolled meat over medium heat for about 5 minutes until the meat is browned, then arrange the meat into a earthen pot.
Add the chopped green onion into the pan you just used to fry the meat, sauté for 2 – 3 minutes over medium heat, then add 2 tablespoons of oyster sauce, 1 teaspoon of seasoning powder, 2 tablespoons of fish sauce, 1 teaspoon of sugar, and 1 bowl (rice bowl) of water, bring to a boil.
After the mixture boils, pour it over the meat in the pot, cover, and simmer for 30 minutes until the meat is tender, then taste and adjust the seasoning to your family’s preference.

Final product
Transfer the meat to a plate, drizzle the sauce over it, and garnish with chopped green onions for an appealing look.
