Yesterday I went to my Nuuanu garden to get more bamboo shoots.




This is what I'm looking for, freshly sprouting bamboo shoots. They are plentiful this time of year.

This shows how much I was able to gather about an hour. It should be just right for my mother and I to use.



After husking all the shoots, this is what was left.

Mom went to work picking only the softest pieces.

The shoots were boiled for quite some time.

I'll post more when mom actually cooks these. We'll be trying a recipe that Nona passed on for Menma.
