They are used in numerous [[Asian cuisine|Asian]] dishes and broths, and are available in supermarkets in various sliced forms, both fresh and canned version. Bamboo shoot tips are called &#039;&#039;zhú sǔn jiān&#039;&#039; ([[wikt:竹|竹]][[wikt:笋|笋]][[wikt:尖|尖]]) or simply &#039;&#039;sǔn jiān&#039;&#039; ([[wikt:笋|笋]][[wikt:尖|尖]]).<br /> <br /> In [[Indonesia]] they are sliced thinly and then boiled with &#039;&#039;santan&#039;&#039; (thick [[coconut milk]]) and spices to make a dish named &#039;&#039;[[gulai rebung]]&#039;&#039;. Other recipes using bamboo shoots are &#039;&#039;[[sayur lodeh]]&#039;&#039; (mixed vegetables in coconut milk) and &#039;&#039;lun pia&#039;&#039; (sometimes written &#039;&#039;[[lumpia]]&#039;&#039;: fried wrapped bamboo shoots with vegetables). Note that the shoots of some species contain [[cyanide]] that need to be leached or boiled out before they can be eaten safely.<br /> <br /> [[Image:Boldhamii_Shoots_Sliced.PNG|left|thumb|200px|Steamed &#039;&#039;Ryoku-chiku&#039;&#039; shoots]]<br /> In certain parts of Japan, China and Taiwan the giant timber bamboo &#039;&#039;Ryoku-chiku&#039;&#039; (&#039;&#039;[[Bambusa]] oldhamii&#039;&#039;) is harvested in spring or early summer, after slicing and boiling is also edible.
