Chicken& Bamboo Shoot Stir Fry

                            Chicken_bamboo_shoot

I asked my favorite Chinese grocer Lu how he cooks  fresh bamboo shoot. He said he just slices them and  quickly  stir -fries the pieces with garlic and and soy sauce. Easy and healthy eh?

Bamboo_shoot I bought a fresh shoot from him and did a variation of my own.After peeling and thinly slicing the shoots, I added  thin slivers from a boneless chicken thigh and stir fried  the two ingredients with chopped garlic and onions.A drizzle of Chinese wine did some extra wonders. Sliced  Chinese Century Eggs soaked in soy sauce and ginger  were added  to the side as an an extra bonus.Green onions  served the perfect garnish to the plate.

That simple. Oh by the way, you might be thinking  how century eggs are  made. Well, they are soaked in horse urine.Really? Har har. No. The horsey thing is just  a myth. Here is the real way to make century eggs .
