Rice in bamboo tube

TQO - Tourists to Tuyen Quang province can explore a range of different cultures and cuisines. One special food in the region is “cơm lam”, or rice in a bamboo tube.

Com lam is a dish from the ethnic minority people, with glutinous rice cooked in a tube of bamboo and with a special fragrance and taste.

After the rice is soaked for two hours, the tube is wrapped in banana leaves and then put over a flame until it gains a pleasant smell. The important thing is to keep the flame at the appropriate level, not too big or too small.

Com lam can be served with salted roasted sesame or fermented meat.
