2. Frozen bamboo shoots have a long history of eating in China. Until now, they are still seasonal delicacies in winter and spring in Quanzhou, Fujian and even Pan-Minnan.
3. Frozen bamboo shoots are grayish white, with high face value, crystal clear, delicate fragrance and elasticity, which are deeply loved by local people.
4. Winter bamboo shoots are a traditional snack with good color and flavor in Quanzhou, Fujian. It is said that the inventor of this food is Zheng Chenggong, a national hero.
It is said that when Zheng Chenggong attacked Taiwan, there was a shortage of food and grass for interior decoration for a while, but Zheng Chenggong refused to accept private funding.
6. But at that time, the garrison was very close to the seaside, so he asked the soldiers to dig a lot of "bamboo shoots" at the seaside, and Zheng Chenggong only ate soup cooked with bamboo shoots every day.
However, Zheng Chenggong often forgets to eat, which requires his subordinates to heat their meals many times. Until one day, Zheng Chenggong didn't want his soldiers to keep him warm, so he ate frozen bamboo shoots directly.
