Instructions to make to make Sticky Rice Chicken Dumplings Wrapped in Banana Leaf

1. Combine chicken, shallots and marinade ingredients in a bowl. Cover and refrigerate for one hour up to 4 hours.
2. Put rice in a large bowl and submerge fully in water. Let soak for at least one hour up to 3.
3. After at least an hour of soaking, drain the water from the rice and add 2 cups fresh water and 2 tbsp soy sauce. Bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce the heat to barely maintain a simmer. Cover the rice and cook for 20 minutes.
4. Put 1/2 tbsp of sesame oil and peanut oil each in a wok over medium high heat. When the oil starts to smoke add half of the mushrooms. Cook until golden brown. Remove and set aside. Then do the other half of the mushrooms.
5. Reduce heat to medium and add another 1/2 tsp of each of the oils and add 1/3 of chicken mix. Cook until golden brown.
6. We are cooking in batches as to not crowd the pan. So you'll repeat thos twice more with thw remaining chicken. When the pan gets dry add a couple tablespoons of sake rather than oil.
7. Combine the stir fried chicken and mushrooms. Toss and set aside.
8. While you're waiting for the rice to finish prepare your banana leaves. Cut 4 sheets about 18 inches long and another four sheets about 10 inches long.
9. After 20 minutes test the rice for doneness by scooping out a small hole in the middle. If all the water is done you're good to go. Set aside and allow to cool to room temperature.
10. Place one long sheet and one short sheet of leaf down on a flat surafce perpendicular to each other.
11. Take a handful of rice and pat it down into a circular base. You're looking for about 1/4 inch thick and 8 inches in diameter.

13. Take another handful and cover the chicken, making a dome.
14. Fold the sides of the banana leaves in lengrhwise.
