Old man mumble

　Suncy ili chi or Sunshi is an Okinawan dialect word for bamboo shoots, a familiar ingredient in ramen noodles. Sunshi ili chi is made by cutting bamboo shoots, pork tripe, sponge cake fish paste, and shiitake mushrooms into strips, simmering them in pork broth, and stir-frying them.
　Sun shi ili chi is a dish served at New Year's and festive meals. In the old days, sun shi was imported from Taiwan and China and was a luxury ilichi.
　When the oil begins to melt, add sun shi and shiitake mushrooms, then add pork broth (pork stock that has been boiled and the scum removed), and simmer. Use sake, sugar (or add more mirin), salt and soy sauce.　When the water content is reduced, add the sponge cake fish paste and let it drain off.　The finish should be moist, not dry. The crunchiness of the seasoned sunshi and the balance of the other ingredients is delicious.
