Bamboo Shoots Strips in Water, Chaokoh, 20 oz

Bamboo Shoots Strips (naw my in Thai) have a mild taste and crispy texture, with a chameleon-like ability to absorb seasonings. Rinse bamboo slices in water and drain before adding to soups and stir-fries.

Bamboo shoots are the ivory-colored shoots from young bamboo plants. In Thailand bamboo shoots are a creamy pale yellow color when fresh and are a favorite addition to salads, coconut-based soups and curry dishes.

Chaokoh brand bamboo shoots are much better than your average local supermarket brands, so be sure to stock up.

To store, transfer to a tightly sealed glass or plastic container and refrigerate.
