😃Yes, fortunately we can find the pre-cooked ones at the supermarket.
I tried boiling it myself twice. The first time, I didn’t do it well. It was bitter and we couldn’t eat it. 😆 The second time, a Japanese friend helped me. That worked out well.
You’re right, the pre-cooked ones save time but it’s also fun to find your own bamboo shoot and prepare it from scratch. 😃
