What are Bamboo Shoots?
Bamboo Shoots have been a staple in Asian cuisine for centuries. Bamboo grows abundantly in Southeast Asia, and the shoots are harvested as soon as they emerge from the ground. They have a unique crunchy texture and can be enjoyed cooked or fresh, straight from the jar. The bamboo plant grows extremely fast, with about 1,500 different species worldwide. It is also the favorite food of giant pandas, who feed exclusively on it.
Bamboo Shoots in the Kitchen
Bamboo Shoots are used in countless Asian recipes! You can add them to stir-fries, noodle or rice dishes, sauté them with other vegetables or meat, or chop them up to fill spring rolls. Combine them with your favorite ingredients to create original combinations!
What are Bean Sprouts?
Bean Sprouts are the tender young shoots produced during the germination of beans. They are rich in fiber and vital nutrients. In Chinese cuisine, Bean Sprouts have been used for centuries as a staple ingredient or a versatile side dish.
Bean Sprouts in the Kitchen
You can consume Bean Sprouts fresh from the jar or toss them into a stir-fry. They are incredibly popular in salads, sandwiches, and cold dishes. You can also use them as a filling for spring rolls or add them to soups for an exotic touch.
Pro Tip: Add a handful of Bean Sprouts to your dish immediately after removing it from the heat. This preserves their delicate flavour and juicy, crunchy texture!
