Instead of Bamboo shoot
Canned bamboo shootsUse the same weight; drain, rinse well and blanch for 2 minutes to lose the tinny taste. Texture is softer than fresh.
Water chestnutUse the same weight; slice and add near the end for crunch. Flavour is milder and sweeter, not earthy.
Fermented bamboo shootsUse about 50% of the weight, rinse well and add early; they are sour and salty, so adjust salt and tartness.
