Rebung

Rebung is the Indonesian word for "Bamboo Shoot". In Indonesia, Rebung are sliced thinly to be boiled with Suntan and spices to make a dish named Gulai Rebung. Indonesia has a lot of dishes which make use of Rebung, such as Sayur Lodeh (mixed vegetables in coconut milk) and Lun pia or Lumpia (fried bamboo shoots and other vegetables rolled or wrapped in flour wrappers). It must be noted that the shoots of some species contain cyanide that need to be leached or boiled out before they can be eaten safely. Slicing the bamboo shoots thinly assists in this leaching.
