Rice cooked in bamboo

Today my church made rice cooked in bamboo (in coconut milk and spices!!) to raise money for their christmas party in december. I came along to "help" :) I don't know if I helped much, but I got to learn how to cook rice in bamboo over a fire, which is a skill that surely must come in handy at some point in my life ;)

 Lemongrass

 She made lunch for everyone

 Making coconut milk, but squeezing and resqueezing the coconut meat 

 Then you strain it

 Filling the bamboo with rice and coconut milk


 Cooking them over (or it was more like next to) the fire made from coconut shells, for around 3 hours




 Then you cut it open (more easily said than done ;) and...


...voila!! there's your rice. Yummy!!!
