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 ''zhú sǔn jiān'' ([[wikt:竹|竹]][[wikt:笋|笋]][[wikt:尖|尖]]) or simply ''sǔn jiān'' ([[wikt:笋|笋]][[wikt:尖|尖]]).<br /> <br /> In [[Indonesia]] they are sliced thinly and then boiled with ''santan'' (thick [[coconut milk]]) and spices to make a dish named ''[[gulai rebung]]''. Other recipes using bamboo shoots are ''[[sayur lodeh]]'' (mixed vegetables in coconut milk) and ''lun pia'' (sometimes written ''[[lumpia]]'': 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 ''Ryoku-chiku'' shoots]]<br /> In certain parts of Japan, China and Taiwan the giant timber bamboo ''Ryoku-chiku'' (''[[Bambusa]] oldhamii'') is harvested in spring or early summer, after slicing and boiling is also edible.
