Bean sprouts on the platter at 11:00 but no bamboo shoots. Can you get fresh bamboo shoots or do you have to use the canned ones? I never have been too impressed with the canned.
My local Chinese grocery has a big tub of fresh bamboo shoots you can fish out and bag yourself. Same with several types of seaweed/kelp.
I'm not generally impressed by canned ones either, but if you can find whole bamboo shoots in a can they're definitely better quality than the pre-sliced ones.
Less woody, better flavor.

My new revolving pu pu platter, mini hibachi, scorpion bowl, and long straws all arrived (from different parts of the world) between Friday afternoon and Saturday morning.
So, late Saturday afternoon I started cooking a bunch of appetizers for the platter and ended up having a very tasty dinner.
The pu pu platter's five sections were filled with:
- teriyaki beef strips
- fried chicken wings (Kowloon Restaurant's recipe)
- chicken fingers
- fried shrimp
- "Peking Ravioli" (Boston-style Chinese dumplings)
Everything was tasty (although I'm still looking for an authentic Boston-styled chicken finger recipe), and with two people drinking a cocktail designed for three ot four, we both got a bit buzzed.
That's one heck of a delicious looking spread!
