Chaokoh Bamboo Strips are young shoots of bamboo reeds that are sliced and pickled. The light yellow flesh is a little fibrous and crunchy and tastes a bit like asparagus. Bamboo is a popular stir-fry vegetable for dishes like chop suey, vegetable curries, and soups. Bamboo strips are also indispensable in sukuyaki, a Japanese stew. Chaokoh Bamboo Strips are pleasantly fresh and crispy and ready-to-eat.
