Directions

  1. After thoroughly washing and draining the sticky rice, mix it with baking soda powder. ≈ 4 min
  2. Let it sit for a night, so that the baking soda can penetrate the rice.
  3. The corn husks and bamboo strings are placed in a pot filled with water, then cooked over high heat. ≈ 3 min
  4. Once the water has boiled, the heat is turned off.
  5. Once the water temperature has dropped, a soft, absorbent cloth is used to wipe both sides of the corn leaves, removing the soil and sediment. ≈ 3 min
  6. Next, we empty the container and immerse the corn leaves and bamboo strings in clean water to preserve them. ≈ 3 min
  7. After folding the banana leaves, pour 3 tablespoons of sticky rice into each leaf, form small, coin-shaped rolls, and secure them with bamboo string. ≈ 3 min
  8. Bring a pot of water to a rolling boil.
  9. Place the rice cakes in the water. ≈ 3 min
  10. Cover the pancakes with water. ≈ 3 min
  11. During cooking, make sure the water always covers the pancakes, and add more boiling water if needed.
