A simple and easy to prepare dish, the only problem with eating bamboo shoots is that we don’t have strong teeth like pandas. So we need to cook a bamboo stir fry for more than an hour. It turns out quite interesting, and might be a good dish for my veggie friends, but I’m not too keen on it. It feels like I’m chewing beef, and chewing and chewing and chewing. So yes, we eat it for the vitamins, but not often.
Here’s how to make it. Also, just remember not to try eating it raw even if you think you have teeth that are stronger than a panda. Bamboo contains a small amount of cyanide and can be toxic. Make sure you boil it before eating!
