300g boiled bamboo shoots

1/2 onion

20cm green onion (10cm white part, 10cm green part)

1 tbsp minced garlic

1 tbsp soup soy sauce

2 pinches salt

4 tbsp roasted perilla seed powder

140ml water

1 round of vegetable oil

1/2 tbsp sesame oil

1/2 tbsp sesame seeds

1/2 tbsp black sesame seeds

Recipe

Depending on their size, cut the boiled bamboo shoots into halves or thirds. Rinse in cold water and drain in a colander.
Thinly slice the onion. Chop the white and green parts of the green onion into 10cm lengths each and set aside separately.
Put the drained bamboo shoots in a pan. Add 1 tbsp minced garlic, 1 tbsp soup soy sauce, and 2 pinches salt; mix well to pre-season.
In a bowl, combine 4 tbsp roasted perilla seed powder with 140ml water and stir until smooth with no lumps.
Drizzle 1 round of vegetable oil into the pan with the seasoned bamboo shoots. Heat over medium-high and stir-fry just until the bamboo shoots turn glossy to keep them crisp.
After about 1 minute, add the sliced onion and the white parts of the green onion. Continue stir-frying for about 3 minutes and 30 seconds until the onion softens.
Pour in the perilla seed water and reduce the heat to medium. Toss well to coat the bamboo shoots evenly.
Cover with a lid and simmer over low heat for 3 minutes until the liquid has almost evaporated.
Open the lid and add the green onion tops, 1/2 tbsp sesame oil, 1/2 tbsp sesame seeds, and 1/2 tbsp black sesame seeds. Turn off the heat and toss gently to finish.

Cut the bamboo shoots, drain them, and prepare the onion and green onion.
Put the bamboo shoots in a pan with garlic, soup soy sauce, and salt to pre-season. Mix the perilla seed powder with water.
Stir-fry the bamboo shoots and vegetables in oil, then add the perilla seed water. Cover and simmer over low heat, then finish with sesame oil and seeds.

Cooking tips

Always use pre-boiled bamboo shoots to remove their natural bitterness.
Pre-seasoning the bamboo shoots with soup soy sauce and salt before stir-frying is crucial so the seasoning penetrates well instead of just coating the outside.
After adding the perilla seed water, lower the heat to medium-low; if the heat is too high, the liquid will evaporate too quickly or burn.
Adding a small amount of black sesame seeds adds a visual accent to the pale perilla dish, making it look even more appetizing.
