Measure 1 part corn dough and 2 parts water in a bowl.

Add salt to the mixture and stir until it starts forming.

Transfer the mixture into a bowl and add more corn dough (2 bowls worth).

Use a spatula to mix while it's hot to avoid lumps.

Once cool enough to handle, mix with hands to ensure a firm texture.

Scoop some mixture and mold it into a round shape or place it in corn husks.

Twist the end of the corn husk and create a hole to push the mixture inside.

Repeat the molding process until all mixture is used.

Place corn husks at the base of the pot to prevent burning.

Add water to the pot and cover with more corn husks and nylon or rubber.

Check the water level periodically to prevent burning, adding more water if necessary.

Flip the kenkey to ensure even cooking.

Cook patiently on low heat to achieve a soft texture.
