White thingy is for eating?

(Wow - already 3 months have passed and I'm so behind on keeping this blog going. Sorry for that!)

One of my absolute favorite dished my husband can make is fried bamboo shots in LOTS of chili/chilipaste. It's SO yummy that even it's morning while writing this, I feel like eating it now!
I took this picture a while back of our dinner:
We had tomato/eggs, bamboo with meat, some green vegetables with carrots and then some cooked tofu - oh..and rice ;)

You can see in my previous post how the bamboo dish look like finished.

Directions to cook bamboo:
peel it and cut the bamboo meat into little pieces and then boil in water (should be covered) for about 25 min under lid. Check when time is almost up to see how much water have absorbed (should be almost half, you dont want it to burn if there's no water left).
Then you rinse the bamboo in new water and let it drip off before frying it in your wok. For that you need oil, garlic, spring onion and lots of chili/chilipaste. You can add all sorts of things, I really like it when hub add little tiny chickenmeat pieces. If you don't like it so spicy you just add the amount of chili you usually use ;)
We like it HOT!!!

Happy munchies!
