Cooking steps
  1. 1

    Trim and peel the bamboo shoots, then slice them into thin matchsticks for even, snappy texture.

  2. 2

    Heat a wok or large skillet over medium-high flame; when hot, add the vegetable oil, swirling to coat the surface evenly.

  3. 3

    Add the sliced bamboo shoots and stir-fry for 3–4 minutes, stirring continuously so the pieces sear but do not brown.

  4. 4

    Add green onion, soy sauce, salt, and white pepper; toss briskly for 1–2 minutes until the bamboo shoots are glossy but still crisp.

  5. 5

    Drizzle with sesame oil, toss again, and remove immediately from heat to prevent overcooking; serve hot as a side.
