Bamboo Shoots with ‘Sausages’

This is a vegetarian dish, so it may seem surprising to find sausages in the title, but there is an explanation. Within the realm of Chinese vegetarian cooking there are many mock-meat products made chiefly from gluten. Some are so skilfully made that they actually look like chicken, duck, roast pork or sausage. These gluten sausages are now available in cans and vacuum packs in Chinese stores.
