Juksun Bokkeum is a simple yet flavorful Korean side dish that showcases the crisp texture and subtle earthy flavor of bamboo shoots. It’s a popular dish often served alongside other banchan or as a side to a main course.

Ingredients:

• Bamboo shoots, thinly sliced
• Soy sauce
• Sesame oil
• Minced garlic
• Red pepper flakes
• Green onion, chopped

Instructions:

1. Prepare the bamboo shoots: If using canned bamboo shoots, drain and rinse them thoroughly. If using fresh bamboo shoots, boil them for about 20-30 minutes until tender, then slice them thinly.
2. Season the bamboo shoots: In a bowl, combine the bamboo shoots with soy sauce, sesame oil, minced garlic, and red pepper flakes. Mix well to coat the bamboo shoots evenly.
3. Stir-fry the bamboo shoots: Heat a skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the seasoned bamboo shoots and stir-fry until they are tender-crisp and the flavors have blended.
4. Add green onions: Just before serving, add the chopped green onions and stir-fry for a few more seconds to incorporate them into the dish.

Tips:

• For a spicier dish, add more red pepper flakes.
• You can adjust the seasoning to your taste.
• Serve hot with other banchan and steamed rice.
