Add a piece of butterfish on top of the pork.

Sprinkle soy sauce, chopped green onions, minced garlic, and grated ginger over the meat.

Season with black pepper and salt to taste.

Fold the banana leaves over the meat to create a secure packet.

Wrap the banana leaf packet tightly in aluminum foil.

Place the wrapped packet in a crockpot and add water to cover the bottom of the pot.

Cover the crockpot and cook on low for 6-8 hours, or until the meat is tender.

Once cooked, carefully unwrap the packets and serve over steamed rice.
