We usually use green/fresh bamboo when cooking this way in Thailand. Best rice to use is sticky rice, (glutinous rice) usually you have to soak this rice before steam cooking but when cooking in bamboo there's no need to. Just make sure the bamboo is well soaked. In a bowl put your rice coconut milk, salt, sugar and some vegetable oil, mix all together then fill the bamboo tubes seal the end with a cloth rag must be tight.
