Jaja means "snack" in Balinese. Most Balinese snacks have coconut, coconut milk, or sugar mixed into glutinous mochi rice or rice flour to steam or boil. Jaja bantal is a specialty that's served as a snack, in meals, or even for celebrations. Authentically, they are made by steaming in a young coconut leaf. They're so tropical!

-There's no need to cover the container with a plastic wrap when microwaving the yukari.
-Make sure to wrap in two layers of plastic wrap.
-Steam until the portions feel soft when you press on them with your hands.
-You don't need to add yukari, if it's not available. Recipe by *chifon*
