Okay, I have 1 version of this recipe to try out. As I am not able to access fresh bamboo shoots, I would like you to help me out.

This recipe uses a rice cooker, so if you have a different version please send it to me and I will add it for viewing, voting and comments.

Feel free to email me alternative versions (especially ones that may use the stove instead), or email me with pictures of your attempts and/or comments for this recipe!

More recipes coming soon!

Bamboo Shoot Rice (serves 2)

Preparation: 10 mins, Cooking time: 15 mins

Ingredients

• 200g rice, washed and drained
• 400ml water
• 100g fresh bamboo shoot, boiled in hot water for 10 mins and diced (Apparently if you’re like me and have only got access to canned or even vacuum sealed, boil the shoots for a bit to get rid of some of the juices that they absorbed while in the tin)
• 1 slice (25g) vegetarian ham (optional), diced
• 3 fresh shiitake mushrooms, diced
• ½ teaspoon salt, or to taste
• 1 tablespoon cooking rice wine
• 2 tablespoons light soy sauce, or to taste
• ½ teaspoon sugar (optional)

Method

1. Combine all the ingredients into an electric rice cooker, mix well and turn it on.
2. When done leave the cooked rice to rest, covered, for 5-10 minutes. Fluff with a fork and serve hot.

Thanks everyone!

Even though I am not a 100% great cook (actually, I barely get to use the kitchen because there are 2 other cooks inhabiting it), I do like it and I also get a bit “rumbly in the tumbly” for some of the recipes from the games! And since there aren’t ANY sites or blogs specifically for the purpose of sharing these recipes, I thought why the heck not!

Just so you know, I’m not entirely biased towards recipes from Cooking Mama games. If there is a recipe (or a meal) from another game or your favourite anime that you have a fabulous recipe for, please share it with us!

For this to work I’m relying on visitor input, meaning you have to help me by submitting a recipe for me to post. I will give you FULL credit, and I’m also more partial to those who submit their recipes with photos! However if you don’t have photos, don’t stress! If any visitors who try your recipe like it, then maybe they would be so generous as to provide a photo of the finished product which I will use to accompany it. Maybe I might even be able to take some, that is if I remember before I devour what I’ve cooked!

So start emailing me recipes here: cookwithmama@gmail.com

Anyway, that is it for the moment. Have fun, and I hope to hear from you soon!
