Steaming

  1. Boil a large amount of water in a pot with a steamer basket.
  2. Place a layer of banana leaf at the bottom of the basket (this prevents the dumplings from sticking to the bottom of the container and this also gives more flavor).
  3. Arrange them carefully, taking care not to damage the pyramidal shape.
  4. Place two layers of banana leaves on top again and place the lid on the pot.
  5. Steam for 15 minutes.
  6. Serve.
