Instructions
Cook the glutinous rice in a rice cooker and let cool slightly.

Lay large rectangular sections of the banana leaves on a cutting board.
Layer slightly smaller rectangular sections cross-wise.
Add a few tablespoons of the rice mixture on the leaves.
Place a few segments of the sausage in the center and top with a few more tablespoons of rice. Fold the inside layer of the banana leaves over the rice, followed by the outside layer. Tie with cooking twine. Repeat until you have 6 to 8 packages.
Arrange the packets in a steamer and steam over medium heat for 1 hour, replenishing with more water as needed.
Serve hot. Unwrapped leftover packets may be frozen for longer storage. It is not necessary to thaw before reheating in a steamer.
