Bamboo tube

80 g1 one 8 cm diameter x 13 cm hollow bamboo length

Estimated from bamboo density ~0.7 g/cm3 and assumed 5 mm wall; not a food measure.

Nothing truly replaces the bamboo tube's aroma; banana leaf is only a practical vessel.

• 
  Banana leaf

  Use as a wrapping or liner for steaming; same cooking time, but you lose the bamboo aroma.

• 
  Green cabbage

  Blanch whole outer leaves for 30 seconds and use as a parcel; same weight of filling, no bamboo fragrance.
