Bamboo Shoot Pork
Tender young bamboo shoots — sliced and fermented or used fresh — slow-cooked with pork pieces in mustard oil until the shoots absorb the rendered fat and the pork becomes deeply succulent. The bamboo provides a sharp, tangy, slightly sour counterpoint to the fatty richness of the pork. A tribal preparation shared across the entire forested belt of eastern and northeast India.
