Time 15m

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 can bamboo shoot ((about 19oz with water, and 10oz drained for each can))
1 tablespoon sesame oil
2 teaspoons garlic (finely minced)
1/2 cup water
1 ½ teaspoons chicken bouillon powder ((Chinese chicken stock powder))
1 tablespoon low sodium soy sauce
1 tablespoon mirin
1 teaspoon sugar

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.
