I would like to think that I am pretty knowledgeable about Iron Chef. Let's go for the 40k.

Seeing as I am a pepsi man, Morimoto would be a natural rival. However, as a man who shall remain nameless once said, "To be the man, you have to beat the man." Hiroyuki Sakai, if you please!

Actually, it is a Japanese recipe. I have inserted American measurements in case people in the US wanted to try it too.

What I want to see is Nakamura's battle with Hattori. It was such a shame that Food Network didn't completely dub his tenure as Iron Chef Japanese as thoroughly as they did with Michiba and Morimoto.

I am 29, and I have been a fan of Iron Chef since my senior year of high school. I am passionate about food, and I study the food with my eyes before eating.

I will give some recipe recommendations, but first, I will explain to the rest of the world about the significance of bamboo shoots.
As it is Spring, bamboo shoots, or rather, takenoko, signify the coming of the new season. However, harvesters are weary of harvesting the crop because it will start to turn bitter as soon as pulled from the ground. Another reason, as Yukio Hattori pointed out in the bamboo shoots episode, fresh bamboo shoots often require at least an hour of boiling to make them safe for use in dishes. To combat this, chefs employ the pressure cooker to cut into the amount of time that it would take.
For the home cook, you can buy bamboo shoots in three ways, often depending on what part of the world you are in, AND if it has a well known Asian community. The first way is fresh, right out of the ground. You can buy this variety mostly in Japan and Asia. Buying your shoots this way is also a chore because, as I said, additional preparations are required to make this even safe for cooking. The second way is canned bamboo shoots. They are more common in non-Asian communities. Finally, you can buy them in a vacuum pack. They have already been pre-soaked, so no additional cooking is required to soften them up to be safe for cooking. For those who are seeking a real bamboo shoot experience, they are starting to appear internationally in this form in your ethnic market stores.
Nutritionally speaking, bamboo shoots are very low on fat and cholesterol at 0g per shoot. There are 346mg of sodium per shoot, and 2g of carbs. Bamboo shoots are a good source of Dietary Fiber, Protein, Riboflavin and Zinc, and a very good source of Vitamin B6, Potassium, Copper and Manganese.
Here is a recipe that involve the ingredients listed, Miwa-san. Bear in mind that not all ingredients requested will be used in the recipe.
Spring Miso Soup
Recipe with thanks from the blog, I'll Make it Myself
[US measurements]
800mL [about 3 1/2c] water 60mL [1/4c] Dashi concentrate 1 TBSP Rice Miso 1-2 TBSP Sesame oil 1 Large "new" potato (wt. approx. 150g[6 oz.]) 1 Small "sweet" potato (100g [3 oz.]) 1/2 Large carrot 100g [3 oz.] bamboo, boiled 1/4 head of Chinese cabbage, roughly chopped 1 small pack of enoki mushrooms 1 300g [10 oz.] package of silken tofu Handful of chopped green onions Mitsuba, for garnish Grated ginger, for garnish
Procedure:
- Wash and peel the potato and carrot. Slice the potato into eighths; cut the carrot, sweet potato, and bamboo shoot to about the same size.
- Heat sesame oil in a large frying pan. When it is hot, add the potato, sweet potato, and carrot and cover with the lid. Stir occasionally and don’t let the vegetables brown.
- Add the dashi to the water and set to boil over a low flame.
- When the potatoes and carrot are slightly softened, add the bamboo and cook for about 5 minutes.
- Wash the enoki and slice off the bottom of the root. Break into smaller clumps and add to the frying pan.
- Wash the cabbage and roughly chop. (If you are going to serve this more than a day later, wait to add the cabbage until just before serving.) Add to the pan and cover with a lid for about one minute.
- Add the vegetables to the stock and turn down the heat.
- Break up the tofu into bite-sized chunks with your hands and add to the soup.
- Let simmer for a few minutes until the vegetables are softened to your liking.
- Garnish with mitsuba, diced green onions, and grated ginger before serving.
Notes
This is mainly for the US audience, but if you are having trouble finding a Japanese market new potato or sweet potato, use American yellow and red potatoes respectively. While they don't share a similar flavor to its Japanese contemporaries, they do share the same texture.
