Bamboo shoots are used so often in Japanese dishes and now it's a good season to enjoy fresh bamboo shoots. My colleague in my office have a bamboo forest in the backyard of his house and brought fresh bamboo shoots for me.
Bamboo shoots have some amount of tannin which is bitter taste so we usually boil bamboo shoots to get rid of the tannin after peeling them off.
It's my best favorite way to enjoy bamboo shoots.

I like takenoko! The ones in Japan is much more tender compare from china. We usually cook them in tumeric sort of soup.
We can only get them in tins here, not fresh. I like them stir-fried in a Chinese-style Chop Suey.
I love love LOVE these. Our friends use to have bamboo in their yard and my mom would get a whole bunch and either roast or make nimono. SO GOOD!
I miss fresh takenoko! What a great dish!
