Soak glutinous rice in water for at least 4 hours or overnight.

Drain the soaked rice and blend it with coconut milk until smooth.

Add sugar, salt, and vanilla extract to the rice mixture and blend until well combined.

Prepare a steamer and line it with pandan leaves for flavor.

Pour the rice mixture into the lined steamer.

Slice bananas and layer them on top of the rice mixture.

Cover the steamer and cook over medium heat for about 30-40 minutes until set.

Check doneness by inserting a toothpick; it should come out clean.

Remove from the steamer and let cool slightly before slicing.

Serve warm or at room temperature, optionally with extra coconut milk.
