SOUR BAMBOO (Ntsuag Qaub): Which ones I like & How to make your own

Let’s welcome one of the most unique ingredients Hmong people love to use in soups: Sour bamboo. Sour bamboo is used a lot in soups, curry, & stew all over Southeast Asia. You can typically see it in soups within the Hmong culture. And there’s so many type out there.

I just found bagged bamboo shoot in my local asian grocery! I was struggling blanching and stirfrying it, now I know why 😂😅 I just found your video, now I know I should have cooked soup 😊 Bless you, that video is very informative

[@cleancutguy1892]

My favorite bamboo shoot brand is Aroy-D it comes in a can. This one is the least sour of the brands I have eaten. I usually add bamboo shoots whenever I make green curry. I will definitely make my own bamboo shoots so I can customize it. Not too sour, not too bland, just right. Thank you for showing us how to make it from scratch!

I am always happy to see you post a new video! Keep it up and thank you for sharing your skills ❤

[@ajuarez1866]

My mom use to do it from actual bamboo because she grew it. But great video context. Very interesting if I didn’t know much about bamboo.

[@kenyoghmoobthao3811]

My favorite bamboo too, can't wait until your next video

[@lindabeans7273]

Yummy! Thanks for sharing ur favorite bamboo. It’s always hard finding one because there’s so many of them. Can’t wait for your next videos. & thank you for still making these food tutorials for us! ❤

Acetic acid is the main acid that gives distilled vinegar its vinegary sourness. The percent marked on a bottle of distilled vinegar refers to the percent acetic acid within the bottle.

👌

Love your video could I take any bamboo shoot and pluck it out and make it ?

[@m.taylor]

To make my own if I don't have short grain rice, will it work with the rinse water from jasmine rice?

[@CHerCreations]

yes

[@kyibobpeb]

I love sour bamboo even though it makes my house stink for a couple of days after!

[@chaoh7159]

Yummy ❤

[@amandaa3713]

Are you aware that vinegar is 5% Acidic Acid?

[@CHerCreations]

Yes I am

I tried the canned bamboo for the first time cause of your teaser video and it was not good 🤮 you can really taste the can. 👎 thank you for making this video though. Definitely not a video you’d expect to find, ever. Lol. Very informative.

[@CHerCreations]

Aw that’s a bummer. Everyone has their own preference. Good to know yours.
