Soak corn husk in warm water to make it flexible and rinse thoroughly before use.
In a bowl, combine 4 cups of fermented corn, 4 cups of water, and 2 tablespoons of salt.
Mix the ingredients with your hands or a whisk until well combined, ensuring no lumps form.
Cook the mixture in a pot for about 5-7 minutes, stirring with a wooden spatula.
Add hot water as needed to achieve the desired consistency.
Once the dough is soft and smooth, mix it for another minute or two.
Combine the uncooked dough with the cooked dough in a bowl, being careful not to burn your hands.
Mix the dough with your hands until smooth, ensuring there are no lumps and creating gluten for stretchiness.
Mold the dough into balls using corn husk, covering the dough with another piece of husk and twisting the ends to secure it.
Repeat the molding process until all dough is formed into balls, yielding 11 balls from the 12 cups of corn dough.
Wrap the balls in plastic wrap if desired, then prepare to cook them in a pressure cooker.
Place some corn husk in the pressure cooker to prevent sticking, then add 4 cups of water.
Set the pressure cooker to cook for 1 hour using the steak and meat button, adjusting the time as needed.
Release the steam using a long stick once cooking is complete to safely open the pressure cooker.
