KANKANEN SUMAN - SWEET MOCHI RICE

My god-daughters grandmother shared this recipe with me. I have seen many variations, but I like this one for its simplicity of making it in one pan. Other variations I have seen are found at our farmers markets, where you can purchase individual wrapped treats the size of a small banana.
Sweet delicate glutinous rice with a hint of coconut. I have made this recipe using ti-leaves instead of the banana leaves, but I do believe the banana leaves add a unique flavor to the dish.
