Cook's comments

  • For this dish, cookbook author Nancie McDermott suggests you can also use pork chop, sliced across the grain into thin slices of 1-inch in length.
    For the bamboo shoots, canned sizes vary. One small can of sliced bamboo shoots is in the 6 oz. (175 g) range and yields about 3/4 cup, drained.
