Poached Winter Bamboo Shoots (With skin) (500g)

Winter Bamboo shoots are baby bamboo plants just as they sprout out from the ground. Their flesh is delicate and aromatic, mildly sweet and bitter, tasting a little like artichoke heart and uniquely like bamboo, with a nice tender yet crunchy texture.

To prepare winter bamboo shoots, just peel away the outer skins. The interior should be soft to the touch. These ready to eat bamboo shoots have been gently simmered in water. Slice them any way you like for stir-fries, soups, or a refreshing appetizer with a bit of mayonnaise.
