One day, my neighbor gave a huge bamboo shoot my mom
Mom said she would use it to make soup

So, mom asked me if I wanted to try to cut the bamboo shoot?
Of course, I said yes~
Who knew preparing bamboo shoot would be so complicated!

First you have to peel off the skin
When peeling it, since the skin was so hard, I almost broke my nails

But, after careful instruction from my mom
I was able to easily peel the skin with a knife
This is what the peeled bamboo shoot looks like, doesn't it look like a Christmas tree
The final step is to cut it into slices~
My hand kept trembling with the knife, afraid that I would cut my own hand
Next time, I want to learn more dishes
