Soak glutinous rice in water for 4-6 hours or overnight.

Drain the soaked rice and steam it for 20-30 minutes until tender.

Mix coconut milk, sugar, and salt in a bowl until dissolved.

Add the steamed rice to the coconut mixture and stir until well combined.

Prepare banana leaves by cutting them into squares and lightly steaming them to make them pliable.

Place a spoonful of the rice mixture onto each banana leaf square.

Fold the banana leaf over the filling to create a packet and secure with twine or toothpicks.

Steam the packets for an additional 20-25 minutes until fully cooked.

Let the packets cool slightly before unwrapping.

Serve warm or at room temperature, garnished with sesame seeds.
