This vegetable and chicken recipe is very simple, nutritious and healthy. It is also one of my favorite vegetable dish because it is tasty and lots of dietary fibers which is good for your digestive system. When you bought young bamboo shoots, it is tender and delicate. But it is not easy to find young bamboo shoots because most often when you go and buy to the wet market or supermarkets, they are already mature and hard. It’s like you are eating the bamboo tree itself and also there is a peculiar smell when the bamboo shoots are contaminated. So if want to cook chicken with vegetables, I think bamboo shoots are one of the best option.
