Mainland LauLau

• 24 dried banana leaves (usually available in an oriental market)
• ¼ lb salted cod or butter fish cut into 6 pieces
• 6 boneless chicken thighs
• 1 lb pork butt or boneless pork chops, cut into 6 pieces
• 2 lbs Spinach
• Sea salt or Kosher salt

1. Soak the dry banana leaves in water 10-15 min until they are soft. Take 2 and 2, make like tick tack toe.
2. Add handful raw spinach in middle then top with chicken, pork, fish, and a sprinkle of sea/Kosher salt. (if using salt cod, you do not need too much extra salt.)
3. Cover meats with more spinach. Fold the banana leaves crisscross, like weaving, and tie up with a rubber band. Wrap remaining bundles.
4. Bring water to a boil in a steamer.
5. Place laulaus in steamer; lower heat and simmer for 6 hours or until done.
