Prepare the Sticky Rice
Soak the sticky rice in water for at least 4 hours or overnight. Drain the rice before cooking.

Prepare the Banana Leaves
Soften the banana leaves by briefly passing them over an open flame or dipping them in hot water. Cut them into squares large enough to hold the rice and bananas.

Assemble the Khao Tom Mud
Place a portion of the sticky rice mixture in the center of a banana leaf square. Add a baby banana on top and then cover it with more sticky rice. Fold the banana leaf over to create a parcel and secure it with kitchen twine or toothpicks.

Steam the Parcels
Set up a steamer and add water. Once boiling, place the parcels in the steamer basket and cover. Steam for about 30-40 minutes or until the sticky rice is fully cooked.
