Add the rice flour. Pound to mix.<br \/>\n4.\u00a0 Take each bamboo shoot and cut it vertically into wedges. Traditionally, Lao cooks use a needle or toothpick to tease the wedges into fine shreds the width of a matchstick. A lemon zester, grater or food processor blade will do the same job faster.\u00a0<br \/>\n5.\u00a0\u00a0Put the shredded shoots into a large 30 cm (12 in) pot. Add the cooked pork, stock powder, salt and yanang juice. Mix.\u00a0<br \/>\n6.\u00a0\u00a0Bring to the boil, stirring to prevent lumping. Simmer for 15 minutes. Continue stirring until any coarse bits of rice have softened and the bamboo is tender. Taste for flavour. Add fish sauce (or soy or seasoning sauce) for a more robust, salty taste. The texture should be wet, but not soupy (eg, like spaghetti in a liquid sauce).\u00a0<br \/>\n7.\u00a0\u00a0Add the chopped coriander and basil. Stir to mix.
