Step 1
Heat 2 tbsp vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add 1 lb sliced bamboo shoots and cook, stirring occasionally, until lightly browned, about 3 minutes.
Step 2
Stir in 3 tbsp soy sauce, 1 tbsp sugar, and 1 cup water. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low and simmer, uncovered, until the liquid reduces by half and the shoots are glossy, about 10 minutes.
Step 3
Increase heat to high and cook, stirring constantly, until the sauce thickens and coats the shoots, about 2 minutes. The shoots should look shiny and the sauce should cling to them.
Step 4
Remove from heat and stir in 2 sliced green onions. Serve hot or at room temperature.
