Soak the rice in water for at least 4 hours or overnight. Prepare the Banana Leaves (if using): Cut banana leaves into squares, and quickly pass them over an open flame to make them pliable. Steam the Rice: Drain the soaked rice and place it in a steamer lined with cheesecloth or muslin. Steam the rice over high heat for about 20-25 minutes or until tender. Prepare the Banana Filling: Peel and slice the bananas into thin rounds. Make Coconut Sauce: In a saucepan, heat coconut milk over medium heat. Add sugar and salt, stirring until dissolved. Remove from heat. Mix Rice and Coconut Sauce: Transfer the steamed rice to a large bowl. Pour the coconut sauce over the rice and gently mix until well combined. Assemble the Dessert: If using banana leaves, place a spoonful of the coconut rice mixture onto the center of each leaf. Add banana slices on top and cover with more rice mixture. Wrap and Steam (if using banana leaves): Fold the banana leaves to form a neat packet. Steam the wrapped banana sticky rice for an additional 15-20 minutes to infuse flavors. Serve: Unwrap the banana sticky rice or simply scoop it into bowls. Drizzle with additional coconut milk if desired. Garnish (Optional): Garnish with sesame seeds, or a sprinkle of shredded coconut for extra texture. Enjoy this delightful Lao Banana Sticky Rice Dessert, a sweet and comforting treat that captures the essence of Laotian cuisine!
