Delicious young bamboo shoots
I like this frozen bamboo shoot. Good for cooking anything!
I cooked shrimp wontons in my homemade chicken broth, then added bamboo shoots after the water boiled. They were very fresh and sweet. Thawing bamboo shoots in boiling water is the closest to cooking them fresh; do not refrigerate or thaw them at room temperature, as this will cause the ice to crystallize.
I especially love these bamboo shoots; they taste amazing when stir-fried with meat!

I bought this to stock up on
The bamboo shoots are already thinly sliced, which is very convenient. I mainly use them when making green curry, but they're also great for tempura, stir-fried pork with green peppers, and other stir-fries.
Price is okay. One of the key ingredients for green curry.
It fell down the stairs, but it was fine! I'm glad it has a long shelf life and keeps well.
I've repurchased this brand of bamboo shoot strips many times.
Great for spring rolls and Chinese-style stir-fries!
Canned food is very convenient. You can use it directly when cooking.
This looks good no problem on the can
good quality
Good quality and convenient. Drain and boil them before use to get rid of the can odor. Wash them and drain. Then use in your recipe.
