Braised bamboo shoot with chicken wings

My sister brought me some fresh bamboo shoots from her MIL house, i am glad that i can cook with these fresh bamboo shoots as those selling in wet market has some kind of awful smell...

Ya, one thing i need to clarify here. Recently i just realized that i should not write "dark soy sauce" in my recipe, actually i was meant " thick caramel sauce" as I just direct translated from Chinese 黑酱油. They are both difference sauces. I think only Malaysia and Singapore use widely of  "thick caramel sauce" but US & Europe hardly find this thick caramel sauce. This is the thick caramel sauce i use:-
