*Cooked Bamboo shoot; our favorite spring taste*
*Cooked Bamboo shoot; our favorite spring taste*
Sorry that my old friend may remember my old post about this dish. About a week ago, awaited annual gift of spring taste from my next-neighbor arrived. Wife of the family has parents who are semi-agricultural and lives mountain side. Its season starts from April and we can enjoy them until May. My blog friend taught me that one of the highest fiber content vegetable. So it help us to keep cholesterol levels. I wonder if mine suits my friends' taste in western country.
Ones sold at the stores are a little bit expensive,
we were blessed with the precious and delectable spring gift.
This was my late brother's favorite dish too and I remember his happy face when he came to have them or pick them. We have superstition that Life is prolonged for 75 days when we eat firstling of the season" I wish to believe it p;)

Hello Miyako, looks like an interesting and healthy dish! I will try anything at least once.. What a nice superstition, well worth eating the bamboo shoot. Have a happy day and week ahead!
ReplyDeleteHello Miyako. Lucky you to have such nice neighbours who give you the bamboo shoots at the beginning of the season. It looks interesting. I tried a lot of different foods while I was in Japan but I don't think one of them were bamboo shoots. Maybe if we get back there we will get to try them.
ReplyDeleteThanks for your comments on my post.
Love,
Diana
I would like to taste it, sounds good!

Takenoko's season has come for me,too. We get some fresh takenoko from one of my husband friends every year. Yesterday I made Takenoko-gohann with a raw takenoko that he digged yesterday's morning. Very delicious.
ReplyDeleteEnjoy spring food!

I used to eat bamboo all the time but stopped since living in the US. Fresh and young bamboo shoots look great (must taste good too).
ReplyDeleteI have eaten bamboo shoots in restaurants but have never seen how they grow or how they are cooked. This was so interesting to me. Thank you for showing the whole process.
ReplyDeleteI would choose to believe that tradition too if I were you!

ReplyDeleteDearest Miyako,
ReplyDeleteIndeed bamboo shoots are a SUPER FOOD! We love to eat it, as we really enjoy all Asian foods. Here you can buy it canned, not fresh in our area. You were lucky for getting this. Enjoy it and stay healthy both of you.
Hugs,
Mariette

ReplyDeleteI have never gotten to have fresh bamboo shoots but I bet they are really good. I did get to have fresh water chestnuts when I lived in Hong Kong.
This looks so yummy! I will have to put it on my list to try. :)
