Method
1. If using fresh bamboo shoot, remove the husk from the bamboo shoot and cut into thin slices to match the bacon. 2. Blanch the slices in a pan of boiling water for 2-3 minutes, then drain. If you are using tinned winter bamboo, simply cut into thin slices and blanch in boiling water for 2-3 minutes, then drain. 3. Cut the chillies at an angle into thin slices , discarding the seeds and stalks. 4. Add the groundnut oil to a wok. Add bamboo slices and allow to sizzle. Then add the bacon, garlic, ginger, chilli flakes and fresh chilli and stir-fry until fragrant, seasoning with light soy sauce to taste. 5. Add the Chinese chives and stir-fry briefly until cooked. Remove from the heat, stir in the sesame oil and serve immediately with steamed rice.Comments & Ratings

A great quick stir-fry. Only thing I had to change was the size of the bacon, I cut it up into less than 2cm strips and in my opinion, it looked a lot better. Otherwise a perfect recipe if time is lacking
