Bacon and Bamboo shoots

Recipe link- Cookpad
(sorry for the crappy pic)

Translation
Makes 5 servings (I guess this is meant to be a side. I had it as my main dinner, so it only made 2)
Ingredients:
Bamboo shoot 250g (I used the other half left over from the happosai)
Bacon 40/1 pack (they didn't have a 40g pack at the store. Mine was around 60g)
Red chili 1 pepper (they didn't have this either. I used a little powder instead)
Nam plaa/ Thai fish sauce 1 tbsp
Lemon juice 1-2 tsp (I used 1)
Benito/katsuo flakes 1 pack/3g

How to make:
1. Cut the bamboo up into small pieces.
2. Cook the bacon in a frying pan. Add the pepper and bamboo once the bacon fat is cooked
3. Mix the nam plaa in 100cc of water. Pour it in. Once all the water cooks away, turn off the heat and add the lemon juice and benito. Done!

I really liked the different flavors in this- spicy, fishy, sour, smokey (from the katsuo), bacony, bamboo-y... But, this recipe doesn't make very much. I'll probably double it next time. I was still hungry after eating half (saving half for lunch tomorrow) so I'm having a persimmon for dessert.
