Bamboo shoot (Takenoko)

Bamboo shoots appear in the Bamboo forest.
But finding them is not so easy for inexperienced people.

The bamboo shoot looks like this.
(I just put this in a vase. Usually, the Bamboo shoot doesn’t grow in it!)

This time we got this Takenoko(Bamboo shoot) from my family.
In this picture, the Takenoko(Bamboo shoot) is boiled.

So we decided to cook it immediately!

How to cook Takenoko gohan (recipe)

Prepare the Fish stock. (I used Niboshi and Konbu)


Wash the rice and leave it on a net.


Cut the vegetables.

When the fish stock is ready, put the carrot and the aburaage.

When the fish stock starts boiling again, add the takenoko and the mushroom in it.


Put soy sauce and boil it for 1~2 minutes and turn off the gas.

Separate between the fish stock and the vegetables and keep the vegetables in a bowl.
(We will use it later)

Add the rice into the pot and start cooking.

3 minutes after the rice starts boiling, put the vegetables into the pot again.

When the rice is cooked, wait for 5 to 10 minutes.

It’s done!!!

Takenoko Gohan with a fresh Bamboo shoot was amazing!

Eating Takenoko Gohan was the first time for Azuki.
But he looked like he enjoyed it a lot!

Azuki

Yes! This Japanese dish was very delicious and also very healthy in my opinion!

This time, I used a fresh Bamboo shoot, but you can cook this Takenoko Gohan with the canned Bamboo shoot, too.
