Braised bamboo shoot with chicken wings

Ya, one thing i need to clarify here. Recently i just realized that i should not write "dark soy sauce" in my recipe, actually i was meant " thick caramel sauce" as I just direct translated from Chinese 黑酱油. They are both difference sauces. I think only Malaysia and Singapore use widely of  "thick caramel sauce" but US & Europe hardly find this thick caramel sauce. This is the thick caramel sauce i use:-

  20. It has been a long while since I last had fresh bamboo shoots. My grandma used to cook this so often for us as we had bamboo plants at the back of our house.

  21. Sonia, I'm not sure why ppl complaining about the smell of the shoots. It tastes so sweet and crunchy. I think the one they had are not properly washed or cleaned. According to the lady at the market place, the shoots need a serious washing ... just like those pig stomach.:o)
    Good night,

  22. Hi Sonia! I think Japanese soy sauce won't make these chicken and bamboo shoot this nice brown even we add more soy sauce. I have boiled bamboo shoot in my fridge that I haven't figure it out how to cook yet. Your recipe looks really delicious!!

  29. This is such a homey and delicious dish. It helps to lightly boil the bamboo shoots first to get rid of the smell.

  31. So homey and so good with steamed rice! I have heard about this thick caramel sauce back in Singapore too - quite good to use for braising meat indeed.

  32. I love the texture of bamboo shoots. It's not easy to get the fresh on in Subang, so I usually resort to the canned ones. I agree with you the one sold in our wet market has a kind of strong smell.
