Delicious young bamboo shoots
Henry
I like this frozen bamboo shoot. Good for cooking anything!
孙宜
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.
Livia
I especially love these bamboo shoots; they taste amazing when stir-fried with meat!
Daidan Lu
The bamboo shoots were fine, the braised ones were tastier, but overall they were a little dry.

You can tell how good it is just by looking at the fact that I’ve already finished half the jar! It’s definitely worth buying, and I’ll be repurchasing it over and over again. The flavor is perfectly balanced, and the bamboo shoots have such a fragrant aroma. It’s delicious on its own, but paired with noodles, it’s absolutely addictive!
