Bamboo rice can be found in many places, especially where there are Dai minority and Yao minority people. There are two kinds of bamboo rice: ordinary bamboo rice and sweet glutinous bamboo rice.
Fragrant Bamboo Rice is a typical Dai specialty. The sticky rice is soaked in water for a couple of hours, and then stuffed into a bamboo joint with the opening covered with a banana leaf. Finally, the crucial procedure that makes it different from other rice takes place: the rice is placed into a flaming charcoal until it turns soft and glutinous.

Cooking methods:

a, Select three sections of fresh bamboo.

b, Cut a joint of a bamboo as an opening for rice, and leave one joint as a bottom.

c, Smash peanuts and wash the rice.

d, Mix the peanuts and rice.

e, Put them into bamboo tubes.

f, Soak the rice with water in bamboo tubes for about 5 hours.

g, Jam-pack the opening with banana leaves.

h, Heat the bamboo on burning coals until the outside looks adust.

i, Take out the banana leaves and peel the bamboo.

j, Enjoy your meal.
