👩‍🍳 How to make Bamboo Shoot Breakfast

Rinse khorisa (5 mins, no heat): Rinse fermented bamboo shoots under cold water twice to reduce sharpness. Squeeze out excess liquid.
Stir-fry (15 mins, medium heat): Heat mustard oil until fragrant. Add onion, ginger, and chillies — cook 4 minutes until softened. Add khorisa and turmeric — stir-fry 8 minutes until the bamboo is heated through and any remaining moisture evaporates. Season with salt and coriander.

📖 Cultural notes

Khorisa (fermented bamboo shoot) is Assam's most beloved preserved food — every household makes large batches during bamboo season, and its tangy, earthy flavour is used to enhance dals, curries, and simple stir-fries throughout the year. ---
