Jianduxian means simmering spring bamboo shoots with ham, bacon or fresh meat. Yangzhou people call it Yipuxian. To make a delicious pot of pickled food, you are also very particular about the ingredients. Choose spring bamboo shoots that are just on the market. The spring bamboo shoots at this time are crisp and sweet. Very tender, no strings. Among them, Fuyang bamboo shoots and Tianmu mountain bamboo shoots are the most suitable.
