This Khmer Bamboo Shoot & Slirk Ngup Soup is very tasty and very easy to prepare; pork shanks with fresh bamboo shoot and tiny leafy green *slirk ngup*. At some provinces in Kampuchea Krom *slirk ngup* also know as *bu ngot*. Back home, very seldom our poor people can afford to buy meat, poor Khmer Krom villagers make this soup with whatever they could catches, eel, fish or rice field crabs. But for special occasions such as *Bonn Pchum Ben* Ancestors memorial day, poor villagers would empty their pockets to buy meat to cook for religious food offerings. Our people only use fresh bamboo shoot and some people prefer extra flavor with *pahok* pickle fish.
