Kaew helps Gale with housework so Gale addresses her as Kaew, dropping khun . On the other hand Kaew uses respectful khun when she refers to or talks with Gale. How do you say this in Thai? how to prepare a bamboo shoot.
1. Peel the bamboo shoot first. 2. Then boil it in salted water to
get rid of the acrid taste.
1. pawk nawmai kawn |

naa nawmai
The rainy season has lingered on for a few months now. Rains have brought us back the lush green surroundings. Back in the villages, a series of rains have softened and fertilised the ground under thick canopy of bamboo leaves. Young plump bamboos are craning up above the ground after shooting out from the moist soil. This safe and highly nutrious variety of vegetables are ready to be collected. Its bamboo shoot season naa nawmai in Thai.
Bamboo shoots or nawmai is well liked by a lot of people. These sprouts have been one major preference for vegetables in Asia and the best time to enjoy them fresh is during this wet season.
Lets talk about the bamboo shoot season (naa nawmai ) and how to prepare a bamboo shoot.
