Steps:
First, starting by washing the sticky rice with cleaned water and drying it out on the basket. Then, do the same to the yellow bean, but it must be soaked for 8-10 hours ahead, keep it dry on the basket too. Start slicing and cutting the pork for around 15cm and seasoning it with salt, pepper, sugar and minced onion. Now that all the ingredients are ready, we will start wrapping the cake.
Second, preparing the banana leaves by using it as the cover (3-4 layered to cover all). Then, you spread the sticky rice on the leaves, in a flat surface as the first layer. For the second layer, spread the yellow bean in the middle of the first surface, then end with pork right in the middle.
Finally, start doing the wrapping by pulling the leaves together to roll the cake become round. Tie the cake with banana skin string to make it safe while cooking, then boil it for at least to 4 hours.
