The next day, change the pot of water and soak the dried bamboo shoots with clear water. Soak for a long time and pinch the dried bamboo shoots with your fingers. If it can be pinched easily, it is soaked. If it can't, cover it and cook it again. This time, the cooking time can be appropriately extended according to the actual situation of dried bamboo shoots, and it should not exceed 10- 15 minutes at most.
