Measure 800 gr of mung bean and soak overnight.

Rinse mung bean with 1 tbsp salt and drain.

Measure 6.5 lbs of sweet rice and rinse with 1 tbsp salt, then drain.

Wash, clean, and dry the banana leaves.

Cut 3 large banana leaves to about 14 inches for wrapping.

Cut smaller banana leaves to about 3 inches for the ends of the cake.

Mix the soaked mung bean with 1 tsp salt and steam for 15 minutes.

In a pot, add 2 cans of coconut milk, 1/2 soup spoon sugar, and 1 soup spoon sea salt. Stir over medium heat until the water evaporates.

Add the drained sweet rice to the pot and stir well, then turn off the heat.

Spread 1 cup (1 bowl) of sweet rice evenly in a prepared area, then add the steamed mung bean, followed by 2 lbs of pork belly, then more mung bean, and finally a little more sweet rice on top.

Roll the mixture tightly but not too tight, using a rubber band to support the shape, and trim the ends.

Place some banana leaves at the bottom of the Instant Pot, add the rolled banana rice cake, fill with hot water to the max line, and add more banana leaves on top.

Close the Instant Pot lid, ensuring the valve is set to 'Sealing' mode, and press Manual for 210 minutes.

After 210 minutes, allow for a natural pressure release (NPR) for 30 minutes before releasing the valve.

For traditional cooking, place the wrapped cake in a pot on the stove and cook for 10 hours, sealing the pot to prevent water evaporation, adding banana leaves at the bottom and top.

After cooking, take the cake out and rinse it with water to cool down before unwrapping.
