Fresh Bamboo shoot is delicious in any stir-fry but please note that it cannot be eaten raw - it can be toxic.
Peel the skin, cut and soak, then boil it for half an hour to remove any bitterness. Brine it or slice and use in stir-fries.
You can add vinegar and/or sliced red chillies while boiling it. It is used a lot in Chinese cuisine as well as in North Eastern cooking and also in Konkani cooking.

Harvested when young and tender and brined for convenience. A staple of Chinese cuisine, bamboo shoots are best cut into slices and added to stir fries with other vegetables.
Drain from the brine wash under fresh water and then cut and add them to your stir fries, stews or soups.
Taste better after cooking as they loose their slight bitter raw taste and are appreciated for their bite and slight sweet flavour.

The most popular mushroom has found its way in all cuisine. Largely composed of water and shrink noticeably during cooking. Best cooked in butter or a good oil. Fry over a moderately high heat so that as they shrink the water evaporates and they don't stew in their own juices. For the same reason do not fry too many at once in the same pan.
