1. 1 Cook glutinous rice in a rice cooker and let cool slightly (see notes). Mix in soy sauce, sesame oil, and sugar until seasonings are well-distributed.
2. 2 Lay large rectangular sections of the banana leaves on a cutting board. Layer slightly smaller rectangular sections cross-wise. Add a few tablespoons of rice mixture on 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 rice, followed by the outside layer. Tie with cooking twine. Repeat until you have 6 to 8 packages.
3. 3 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.
