A look at the ingredients and the usual method, for readers who want to follow the story into the kitchen.
How it comes together
- Remove the tough outer sheaths and woody base. Cut the tender shoots into even pieces.
- Boil fresh shoots thoroughly in water and drain before braising.
- Turn the shoots in hot oil, then add soy sauces, sugar, a little rice wine and water.
- Cover until tender, then uncover and reduce the sauce so it clings to the shoots.
