History
Starting from an abundant supply – the land of fresh chicken and bamboo shoots, Hoa Binh has become a famous place to enjoy chicken cooked with bamboo shoots in 64 provinces and cities of the country. The delicious taste comes from minimalism in ingredients and sophistication in flavor, which has attracted many diners to the beautiful city of Hoa Binh.
Main ingredient
– Sour bamboo shoots (măng chua): The bamboo shoots will be washed, put in a jar, and then salted to make them sour. Bamboo shoots will be salted with spring water, so they have a different flavor than in other places. They can be preserved and eaten throughout the year while still maintaining their delicious, sour taste.
– Chicken: It must be a hen so that the meat is not tough and fatty while still retaining the characteristic sweetness of the meat. After cleaning, the chicken will be marinated with some spices and a few crushed ginger branches. Make sure the chicken is marinated for at least 1-2 hours so that the chicken is firm and flavorful and the spices are absorbed evenly.
White, mildly sour bamboo shoots are served with stewed chicken, blending the sourness of bamboo shoots with the sweetness of chicken juice, giving diners a delicious meal.
