Method

1. 1 Boil fresh bamboo shoots in uncovered water for 20 minutes, then rinse with cold water.
2. 2 Boil the bamboo shoots with the lid open so the bitterness evaporates with the steam; if the lid is closed, the bamboo shoots will still be bitter and have a pungent smell.
3. 3 Cut the bamboo shoots into thin strips and squeeze out the excess water.
4. 4 Crush the garlic and chili peppers, sauté for 30 seconds, then stir-fry the minced pork for 4 minutes.
5. 5 Add the bamboo shoots and stir-fry for 4 minutes over high heat until they absorb the sauce.
6. 6 Season with fish sauce, oyster sauce, and sugar, then turn off the heat, mix in the basil leaves, and squeeze in some lemon juice.
