The Lotus Leaf is soaked overnight prior to assembly and steamed the next day with vinegar and water.
Make 2 cups of sticky rice or glutinous rice to create 6 servings.

Stuffing recipe: 1/2 lb of pork, 2 dried chinese sausage, dried shrimp, 3 shitaki mushrooms, a spring of cilantro. The meat is cooked in a sautee pan with shallots, oil, salt, sesame oil and soy sauce. Cook for about 12 minutes.

After the sticky rice is wrapped in the lotus leaf, steam for 20 minutes on a bamboo tray or metal steamer on medium heat.

Serve with hot tea in the leaf.
