滑蛋筍片牛肉三文治/Chinese Beef and Bamboo Sandwich

This Chinese Beef and Bamboo Sandwich recipe is based on my previous recipe - Fried Beef and Bamboo in Egg Sauce.  I put this Chinese dish into a bun and made a healthy delicious Sandwich.  It tasted so fresh and delicious!  The bamboo shoots have a unique texture and flavor all of their own making the variety of textures in this Sandwich extraordinary.  It's very simple to make and brings a tasty Chinese flavour to a very common Western style meal.  Because this is not a traditional sandwich, the kids don't feel bored when they eat.  It's not only tasty and delicious, it's packed with protein, calcium and fiber that help them to grow.  There are lots of Chinese dishes that you can combine with Western cooking styles. I will show you how to do that in my upcoming recipes.
