It was sitting in a small bag, with a Panda on the package, and the brand name: Bam Boom. A new discovery today while shopping at Don Quijote in Pearl City, HI. Bamboo infused rice becomes green. Green rice is not new, but was new to me. I wanted to try it out…

So, I made green musubi :)

I cooked it in my mini Hitachi rice cooker. The instructions on the bag said not to pre-wash, and to add some salt and a dash of oil to it. I chose coconut oil. I don’t know if that was a mistake… the rice tasted a little like coconut, which I like, but I think it masked the flavor of the bamboo rice. I’ll try it again and update this.
