Feedback about Stir fry Pork with fresh bamboo shoots

WOW is all i can say. This was shockingly good given the simple ingredients. Bamboo shoots have never done a thing for me, but this time i bought vacuum packed in water fresh(er) shoots. Perhaps its the lack of added taste by the can, but they were fragrant and very good. The sauce…wow again. most chinese dishes with just soy, rice vinegar, a tsp of chinese wine and some hot pepper would be bland to my jaded tastes but this was fantastic. Don’t let this recipe slip past you. if you use the freshest best ingredients its a wonder. (oh and i just minced a chicken thigh in the processor since i didnt have pork).
