Well, here is something that I have in common with the Chinese panda. (Besides the both of us being fluffy and adorable that is.) It turns out that we both love to eat bamboo!
I recently happened upon this photo of Wang Wang the panda, contentedly chewing on his lovely sprig of bamboo and thought: Wow, I'm hungry! That's when I knew it was time to make this lovely dish for our dinner: Stir Fry Bamboo and Mushrooms (冬筍炒冬菇), also sometimes called Stir Fry Two Winters (炒二冬). (This is due to the Chinese character for winter (冬) which you can see shows up twice in the name!)
This traditional Hangzhou 杭州 vegetarian dish is made with tender winter bamboo shoots and the delicious shitake mushroom. Easy peasy and yummy too! I bet Wang Wang the panda would like it as much as we do!
