Huizhou Bamboo Shoot Silk with Chicken Stock

Ingredients

• Huizhou dried bamboo shoots (问政筍)
• chicken stock (雞肉湯)
• autumn-pressed soy sauce (秋油)

Instructions

1. Soak the dried Huizhou bamboo shoots until completely soft. Cut them into fine silk strands. Braise the bamboo shoot silk in chicken stock until tender, adjusting fire control (火候) as needed.
2. Alternatively, as demonstrated by the official Gong: Cook the bamboo shoot silk with autumn-pressed soy sauce, then dry it by gentle heat before serving. This method transforms the dish into an unexpectedly refined flavor.
