Bamboo shoots are a mouth - watering vegetable adored by many Filipinos. In the Philippines, there's a wide range of meal recipes featuring bamboo shoots. Grab a 20 oz can of Tropics Canned Bamboo Shoot Strips. You can easily cook sautéed bamboo shoots or stir - fried bamboo shoots, and toss in some meat or mushrooms for an even more appealing dish. Philippine Foodtrade Corporation, the force behind the Tropics brand, started in 1971 with the vision of offering top - quality Filipino products during a scrumptious meal at Sulo Restaurant. Its simple goal was to bring the real Filipino taste to Filipinos living far from home. The Tropics brand, first available in Chicago, is now also in Los Angeles and other states in between.

Using these Tropics canned bamboo shoot strips is a breeze. First, open the can and drain the liquid. You can then use them in a variety of recipes like sautéing or stir - frying. For best results, cook them over medium - high heat for a few minutes until they're tender. When it comes to adding flavors, meat and mushrooms are great choices, but you can also experiment with other veggies. As for storage, once opened, transfer any unused bamboo shoot strips to an airtight container and keep them in the fridge. They should last for a few days. And always check the can for any signs of damage before using.
