Paklay (Sauteed Bamboo Shoots)

I grew up knowing this dish as paklay. It has become one of my favorite ways of cooking bamboo shoots (tambo) aside from making ginat-an nga tambo.



I just love the taste of the young bamboo shoots without any overpowering flavour and the texture too.


The recipe is simple and can be tweaked according to your taste and available ingredients.

Here's the recipe for Paklay.


Ingredients
  • 4 cups young bamboo shoots ("shaved" or strips)
  • 1 cup pork cutlets or ground pork
  • 1/2 cup shrimps 
  • 1 medium onion, chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 medium tomatoes, chopped
  • Salt, pepper, soy sauce and/or broth cubes to taste
  • Oil
  • Water
How to cook Paklay
  1. Prepare bamboo shoots by soaking and boiling it in water then squeezing out excess water. This removes the slight bitterness it may have.
  2. In a pan, place pork cutlets and fry in its own oil under brown. 
  3. Add little oil then saute-in onion, garlic and tomatoes.
  4. Stir fry-in shrimps for 2-3 minutes.
  5. Add young bamboo shoots and add 1/2 cup of water (adjust if needed)
  6. Bring to a boil then add-in flavoring of choice.
  7. Simmer until the bamboo shoots are tender enough (around 10-15 minutes) 
  8. Serve as a side dish but very delicious with rice. Sprinkle some sesame oil before serving.


As always, the measurements in this recipe are just guides in making this delicious dish. You may adjust according to your taste. Enjoy.

But as per experiences of consumers, not every drug cleansing shampoo led them to pass the test with flying colors, one of the exceptions being the Old Style Toxin Rid Shampoo, of which many people spoke in favor. Among all the myths and crazy remedies, this method works the best. Yes, you may have to shell out a little cash or spend a lot of time underwater, but it might just save you money in the long run when you save yourself from losing your job. This remarkable cleansing shampoo is not a recent discovery; in fact, it wasn't manufactured for hair follicle drug tests at all. It dates back years ago when a company named Nexxus formulated this shampoo for swimmers who spend hours in the swimming pool and have loads of chlorine stuck in their hair. Chlorine is notoriously known to be clingy and does not wash out of hair easily. Visit: https://www.urineworld.com/
