Com Lam is made of rice, bamboo tubes, and banana leaves.  Local people also mix shredded coconuts, coconut milk, and sesame in rice before baking. They put rice in a bamboo tube and cover it with banana leaves. The bamboo tube must be fresh so that its fragrance can be absorbed in the rice after cooking.
