Steps:
- Drain and rinse the canned bamboo shoot thoroughly.
- Cut them into thin slices, about 1/4-inch thick and 2-inch long. (Optional: you can place them in a strainer and pour hot water over to get rid of the flavor from the can)
- In a small bowl, mix together chicken bouillon powder and water. Mix well and set aside.
- In a non-stick skillet over medium heat, add sesame oil and minced garlic.
- Sauté for about 1 minute and add sliced bamboo shoots. Stir-fry for about 2 minutes.
- Then add the chicken stock mixture, soy sauce, mirin, and sugar. Mix and bring to a boil.
- Reduce the heat and simmer uncovered for about 10-15 minutes until the liquid has mostly evaporated.
- You can serve immediately or store the menma in an airtight container (with the remaining liquid) in the refrigerator. It'll last up to 1 week.

MENMA - BRAISED BAMBOO RAMEN TOPPING
I normally make this using whole refrigerated bamboo shoot that I can purchase in Japanese market nearby in California. If whole bamboo shoot is used, cut lengthwise into about 1/4 in slices first. Then cut into 1/4 inch slices. Finally cut the 1/4 inch slices into half. The slices do not need to be perfect - they will taste great when finished. You can also use canned bamboo as well (although taste will be not as good as the fresh version). Menma is granddaddy of one of ramen toppings. In old days if you ordered ramen in Tokyo this was always one of the toppings along with shoyu or soy sauce flavored soup. You can purchase this in a bottle commercially but the cost is quite high for a small bottle. I like to sometimes serve this as a snack for beer, white wine or sake. If served as snack, it is very good with sprinkling of roasted sesame seeds on top.
