Cooking Blog: Adobo Bamboo Shoot (Labong)

Hello, how are you? I never thought you could eat bamboo shoots and cook them as a meal, and I don’t like eating them because I always imagine eating an actual bamboo, which is weird for me. As time passed, you just need to buy the perfect kind of it, and my mom knows what she buys.

Some of the bamboo shoots is pretty bitter when you cook it so I don’t like it and it needed to be boil first to remove the bitterness but there this bamboo shoot my mom buy that is more yellow than the bitter one and she told me that chinese bamboo shoot is better that the paller one so sometime when they bought a paller one I always boil it longer than the other because I am not gonna risk on cooking it bitter.

One of my favorite ways to cook it is always adobo love it, and I suggest you try it. I've always been so frustrated to know how to cook it right, and I just recently figured it out, so I always love to cook bamboo shoots whenever my mom buys one. We call it “rabong” in Ilocano, but to my knowledge, in Tagalog they call it “labong” hehehe.

Ingredients I Used:

Let's Cook!

Boil the bamboo shoot for about 10-15 minutes. After boiling, I add 2 tablespoons of cooking oil to a hot pan.

Add the aromatics and sauté for about a minute, until fragrant.

Then I added 1/4 teaspoon of brown sugar to balance the taste and mix.
