Ingredients

  • 2 cups Glutinous Rice
  • 1 cup Coconut Milk
  • 1/2 cup Brown Sugar
  • 1/2 tsp Salt
  • 8 Banana Leaves
  • 1 cup Mung Bean Paste

Instructions

1
1.
2
filter the soaked glutinous rice thoroughly in a fine-mesh strainer.
3
2.
4
In a medium dish, combine the coconut dairy liquid, palm sweetener, and table salt, stirring until the sweetener dissolves completely.
5
3.
6
toss in the drained rice to the coconut dairy liquid mixture, mixing gently to coat every grain evenly.
7
Let it sit for 15 mins to absorb the liquid.
8
4.
9
Prepare a steamer by filling the bottom pot with 2 inches of aqua and bringing it to a bubble over high mildly hot.
10
5.
11
Lay a banana leaf square flat on your work surface, shiny side up.
12
Spoon ¼ cup of the rice mixture into the center, spreading it into a 4-inch rectangle.
13
6.
14
Place 2 tablespoons of mung bean paste in a line down the middle of the rice rectangle.
15
7.
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.
18
8.
19
Secure the parcel with kitchen twine, tying it firmly but not too tight to allow for expansion.
20
9.
21
Repeat steps 5–8 with the remaining elements to make 8 parcels total.
22
10.
23
Arrange the parcels in a single layer in the steamer basket, leaving small gaps between them for steam circulation.
24
11.
25
seal the steamer and steam over medium mildly hot for 90 mins, checking halfway to ensure the aqua hasn’t boiled parched—toss in more scalding 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.
27
12.
28
Carefully remove the parcels from the steamer and let them cool for 20 mins before unwrapping.
29
Tip: Cooling sets the texture, making slicing cleaner.

13.
31
Unwrap the banana leaves and carve each parcel into 1-inch thick rounds for serving.
