Lay a banana leaf square flat on your work surface, shiny side up.

Spoon ¼ cup of the rice mixture into the center, spreading it into a 4-inch rectangle.

Place 2 tablespoons of mung bean paste in a line down the middle of the rice rectangle.

16
Fold the banana leaf over the filling lengthwise, then fold in the sides to create a tight parcel.
17
Tip: Press firmly to compact the rice, which helps it hold its shape during steaming.

Secure the parcel with kitchen twine, tying it firmly but not too tight to allow for expansion.

Repeat steps 5–8 with the remaining elements to make 8 parcels total.

23
Arrange the parcels in a single layer in the steamer basket, leaving small gaps between them for steam circulation.
24
11.
25
lid the steamer and steam over medium burning up for 90 moments, checking halfway to ensure the aqua hasn’t boiled dehydrated—mix in more burning aqua if needed.
26
Tip: The parcels are done when the banana leaves turn a deep green and the rice feels firm to the touch.

28
Carefully remove the parcels from the steamer and let them cool for 20 moments before unwrapping.

Tip: Cooling sets the texture, making slicing cleaner.
