Real menma requires fermentation but you can use this quick method as the perfect substitute and it still tastes good! Best thing. It takes less than 10 minutes. 

  1. Drain and wash the bamboo shoots thoroughly (you can also soak the bamboo in boiling hot water if you want to get rid of the smell before washing it)
  2. Pour the sesame oil into the pan and stir fry the bamboo on medium high heat for 2 minutes 
  3. Add in sugar and continue stir frying for another 2 minutes, ensuring the sugar coats all the bamboo 
  4. Add in chicken stock, soy sauce, chilli oil (optional) and water and stirfry until the water evaporates 
  5. Garnish with sesame seeds when serving (toasted for more fragrant aromatics)
