Bamboo Shoots Rice【竹笋焖饭】


When mom was here in the States, she loves to buy fresh bamboo shoots from The Asian market, she will stir fry it with tofu or made stew with pork belly.

She told me about this rice dish that she used to eat as a kid couple of weeks back. When I saw fresh bamboo shoots in the market, I brought home some and made this rice dish and shared with a few friends. 

My friends loved it so much that one of them even brought me more bamboo shoots days later and request me to make it again!

我妈很喜欢吃鲜笋做的菜,她在美国的时候只要看见鲜笋就会买几只回来炒豆腐干或炖肉。

几个星期前妈妈跟我提起鲜笋焖饭,是她小时候很爱吃的美味咸饭,我问了做法后,到亚洲超市买了鲜笋,处理好后留起一大半来做菜,一小半做了这个焖饭。

做好的焖饭送给几个朋友吃,大家都好喜欢。一个好友还在几天后买来一大包的鲜笋,让我再做一次!
