Mam Chung

Mam Chung is a traditional Vietnamese dish made with sticky rice, mung beans, and pork wrapped in banana leaves.

Ingredients - Serves 6

Soak the sticky rice and mung beans separately in water for at least 4 hours or overnight.
Drain the sticky rice and mung beans.
In a large bowl, mix together the sticky rice, mung beans, pork belly, shiitake mushrooms, dried shrimp, garlic, fish sauce, and salt.
Take a piece of banana leaf and place a portion of the mixture in the center.
Fold the banana leaf over the mixture to form a square parcel.
Secure the parcel with kitchen twine.
Repeat with the remaining mixture and banana leaves.
Steam the parcels for 2 hours, or until the sticky rice is cooked and the filling is tender.
Remove the twine and serve the Mam Chung hot.
