Directions

  1. In a small saucepan, combine the rice flour, starch, water, and oil. Season with salt, powdered bouillon, and a little sugar (if using bone broth, you don’t need to add oil or seasoning). Let it rest for 20 minutes.
  2. While that’s happening, mix the pork, mushrooms, and onion together, season with salt, powdered bouillon, and pepper, and sauté until cooked through.
  3. Place the dough on low heat and stir constantly until it begins to stick together; turn off the heat (it is still liquid) and continue to stir until it becomes thick and smooth. ≈ 8 min
  4. On banana leaves rolled into cones, place a layer of dough, filling, and a quail egg, then cover with more dough. ≈ 3 min
  5. Fold the leaves in a long, curved shape. ≈ 3 min
  6. Steam for 30 to 40 minutes.
