1 pound fresh bamboo shoots
2 tbs peanut oil
2 tbs sesame oil
3-4 cloves garlic, pressed
1 onion, sliced thin
2 Tbs freshly grated ginger
2 carrots, sliced thin
1 block firm tofu, sliced or 1 cup sliced chicken or beef
1 whole bok choy, small/medium, sliced thin
1/2 cup water
2 Tbs soy sauce
Peel and slice bamboo shoots and if needed boil for 10 minutes or until tender (a couple of minutes in the microwave with a splash of water works just as well). Drain and discard water. In a large frying pan, heat peanut oil and sesame oil. Add garlic, onion, and ginger and sauté for 5 minutes. Add carrots and tofu (or chicken or beef) and sauté mixture, stirring periodically, until tofu or meat is browned and thoroughly cooked, about 10 minutes. Add bok choy, bamboo shoots, water and soy sauce and cook until heated through, about 5 minutes. Serve with hot rice or Asian noodles.
