Luckily, it’s available to order online from Weee! when it’s in season between April and November. You can also use 綠竹筍 (lǜ zhúsǔn) aka green bamboo or 孟宗筍 (mèngzōng sǔn) aka winter bamboo, which is sometimes labeled as ‘bamboo shoot’ or ‘fresh bamboo.’ I’ve tested this recipe with all three types. Green bamboo and winter bamboo will require an extra prep step though – see the full recipe at https://thesoundofcooking.com/bamboo-... more cozy cooking videos: lunar new year cake with a crispy edges –    • Stop Pan-Frying Lunar New Year Cake WithOU...   taiwanese bitter melon soup (2 ways) –    • Bitter Melon Soup with Pork Ribs 2 ways ▹ ...   say hello: ▹ subscribe to tsoc channel to keep in touch:    / thesoundofcooking   ▹ instagram:   / thesoundofcooking   ▹ follow on tiktok:   / thesoundofcooking   ▹ for printable asian recipes, visit: https://thesoundofcooking.com thanks for being here. :) lets eat~ chef product links: dutch oven i used in this video – https://geni.us/605ySEg carbon steel clever (size #4) – https://wokshop.com/shop/product/carb... diamond crystal kosher salt – https://geni.us/uDPd cutting board – https://geni.us/H75PMm chef kitchen side towels – https://geni.us/C6wlH video gear i use: sony fx30 – https://geni.us/1JQmd1c lens (18-50mm 2.8) – https://geni.us/gjS1J variable nd – https://geni.us/DJqPEx pro-mist-filter – https://geni.us/IddVT extra sony battery and charger – https://geni.us/3JQit The Sound of Cooking® (dba of Ouen Studios, LLC) is a participant in the Amazon Services LLC Associates Program, an affiliate advertising program designed to provide a means for sites to earn advertising fees by advertising and linking to Amazon.com. credits: created by cindy chou © 2026 The Sound of Cooking® – keywords for context: taiwanese soup, bamboo shoot soup, cozy cooking, taiwanese recipe, east asian recipe, cozy aesthetic #bambooshootsoup #taiwanese #cozycooking Copyright 2026 Ouen Studios LLC DBA The Sound of Cooking®.
