After the sound of a blow, jeers and laughs with Asian delicacy (6,6)

I believe the answer is:

bamboo shoots

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'after the sound of a blow' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this definition defines the answer.

'jeers and laughs with asian delicacy' is the wordplay.
'jeers' becomes 'boos' (boos from a crowd).
'and' says to put letters next to each other.
'laughs' becomes 'hoots'.
'with' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'asian delicacy' becomes 'bam' (I can't explain this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
'boos' put next to 'hoots' is 'booshoots'.
'booshoots' after 'bam' is 'BAMBOO SHOOTS'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for bamboo shoots that I've seen before include "vegetables" , "Part of the Chinese dish" .)
