Instructions

  1. Rinse the bamboo shoots under cold water, then drain them well and cut them into thin strips.
  2. Finely slice the onion and the chilli, removing the seeds from the chilli if you prefer less heat.
  3. Make the dressing: mix the juice of the limes, the oil, soy sauce, sugar, a pinch of salt and pepper until the sugar dissolves.
  4. In a salad bowl, combine the bamboo shoots, onion and chilli, then pour over the dressing and toss.
  5. Chop the coriander and add it at the last moment. Let it rest in the fridge for 10 minutes before serving so the flavours develop.

Variations and tips

Spicy version. Add a teaspoon of chilli sauce or a second chopped chilli for a more fiery salad.

Using what's available. Fresh bamboo shoots are hard to find: canned or jarred ones, well rinsed, give a perfectly good result.
