Mainland lau lau

This food resembles dolma in its cooking method and appearance. But that's all. The culinary recipe of lau-lau is fundamentally different from everything we know about such dishes. At least by the fact that we wrap the minced meat not in cabbage and not in grape leaves. and in banana leaves. To do this, the dried banana leaves need to be soaked for a few minutes in hot water. You can get them at any store where bananas are sold, or at a grocery warehouse. In Russia, they are removed and sent to the trash. If you managed to get the banana leaves, then dry them and store them so as not to break them.
How to make a Mainland lau-lau? Make the filling. Cut the cod, pork and chicken into pieces, about 2x2 centimeters. Mix everything and add salt. If the cod is salty, then we put less salt so as not to over-salt. Mix everything with spinach and divide into six portions.
Take a banana leaf, put one portion of minced meat on it, and wrap it like an envelope. To prevent the lau-lau from opening, tighten each envelope with an elastic band or thread.
Put all this on the bottom of the pan, bring to a strong boil, and then reduce the heat. And cook for six hours. Add boiling water if necessary.
