Got a rice cooker? Try this one. No exotic ingredients required, super simple and tastes amazing. The shallot/spring onion dipping sauce is the bomb.

Right, so. My first cooking project of 2024 isn't actually a cooking one but, rather, a fermentation one. I figured it was time to ferment some bamboo shoot tips.
Prep is remarkably easy, it just involves slicing them relatively broadly and relatively thinly. I went with a 5% salinity brine — so, for 503 g of bamboo shoot tips, that works out to about 25 g grams of salt. I used non-iodised sea salt with not added fluoride.
Once in the container with the brine, I topped everything with a few leaves of napa cabbage (yay, bonus sauerkraut!) and weighed everything down with a zip-lock bag partially filled with water, to ensure none of my lovely bamboo gets out of its bath.
From here, it's now sat on my counter-top at room temperate, where it shall remain for the next month, and burped twice-daily.
After that, it's dehydration, storage, and I'll have ample portions of menma on-demand.
- mmm... i'd be all over that. personally, i would have gone for a glass container, but i hope this works for you just as wellscruffics
- Yeah, I couldn't find a suitable one in the shops, and I didn't want to order online and wait more than I wanted to. I got impatient.Continuity
- But I think I will absolutely order a fermentation-grade glass jar, and some weights, if only to minimise use of plastic and its contact with food.Continuity
- +1 for funky ferments! I haven't forgotten about the hot sauce receipt I promised, but I've been fermenting it and intend to post that...MrT
- ... interested to see how it goes with the plastic too. That cabbage after a month will be fuuunky https://youtu.be/rwz…MrT
- Oh, after 7 days, that cabbage is already funky. The pong that wafts out of there when I burp the container is something in between Camembert au lait cru ...Continuity
- ... and ass.
Wheeeeee!Continuity

IKEA no longer does fish based caviar paste so this is Vegiar, vegan caviar paste. Honestly wouldn’t be able to tell the difference.
- people go to ikea to eat?pango
- yes but this isn't at ikea.ephix
- ikea is an extremely popular place to go to just eat.ephix
- well I'm trying thisMrT
- maybe you ikea is better. our ikea food feels like over prised cafeteria food.pango
- At IKEA here you can get a standard meatballs meal for $9 CAD. But yeah its cafeteria food. It's busy. Anyway this was cooked at home and just bought the paste.ephix

ever add truffles or truffle oil to your spaghetti? either that or a wine reduction? I've thought about a truffle infused olive oil but thought why not just go for it?
people are onto my secret ingredient (garlic).
I add it to the meatballs, the sauce, and during the browning process of the meatballs and mushrooms.
thinking of trying a veal/lamb blend over the pork I am usually use in my next batch.
- many (maybe most) truffle oils are not made from truffles at all but a chemical mixture made to taste like truffles.ephix

15 minute butter chicken. Impressed:
- I made this tonight... came out surprisingly great - thx for the post, jagara. :) btw - my phone tries to autocorrect your name to ‘hahaha’. :)PonyBoy
- Did you actually manage to make it in 15 minutes?
- hahahajagara - It took me that long just to skin the veggies :) Easily an hour of work. Rice was a lil sticky but the recipe is pretty tasty: https://i.imgur.com/…PonyBoy
