- Heat a frying pan with a drizzle of oil over medium heat. Add the blended mixture and sauté until fragrant.
- Incorporate the bamboo shoots and diced chicken into the pan, stirring well. Add water, salt, sugar, chicken stock powder, and ground pepper. Mix thoroughly and let it simmer.

Make the Skin:
