Step 1
Rinse the 2 cups glutinous rice until water runs clear, then soak in water for at least 30 minutes. Drain well.
Step 2
Mix the drained rice with 1/2 teaspoon salt. Place about 1/2 cup rice onto each banana leaf piece, fold into a packet, and secure with kitchen twine.
Step 3
Steam the packets over boiling water for 20-25 minutes, until the rice is tender and translucent. Serve warm, unwrapping the leaves.
