Bamboo Shoots

Ingredients

Preparation

  1. Need some, have none

    Presumably, you’re stir-frying. (What else do Americans do with bamboo shoots?) If you have water chestnuts, they can be a good substitute. If you live in the West, you can use jicama, sliced into strips. You could use jicama in Maine, too, but you might have more trouble finding it in the grocery store.
