While I was chatting with my mom,she told me she mixed bamboo shoot when she cooked petai.Petai or Stinky Bean is one of many Asian favourite beans which you can find everywhere in Malaysia,Indonesia,and Thailand.If you're not use to eat this Stinky Beans ,it's can be really challenging...love it or hate it!!.As some people called petai is a Taboo food like durian.This beans have a very strong pungent or unique flavor after you consume it .Here is US and A we don't have the luxury to get fresh petai in pods.The petai we can get is from Thailand and it's called Sator Beans in frozen form.While I shop at Asian market I found few of the Asian market sold fresh bamboo..well,I never try to cook fresh bamboo shoot with petai..Later I told my mom that I used fresh bamboo to cook with petai but when she asked did I boiled the bamboo first before stir-fry with petai..."huh...boiled first ?"" but but then the bamboo don't have crunchy texture" I said...but my mom told me don't worried ,after boiled the fresh bamboo still have crunchy texture...Hmmmm...maybe next time I will try to use precooked bamboo that I saw on the chiller shelve in the market to save me all the work..
