Lemper

Lemper is a delicious snack that comes from Indonesia. It's basically like a little ball of rice that is wrapped up in a banana leaf.

First, people cook the rice until it's soft and sticky. Then, they add some special ingredients like coconut milk, spices, and maybe even some meat or vegetables.

After everything is mixed together, people take a piece of banana leaf and put a scoop of the rice mixture onto it. They roll it up and squish it together so that it's nice and tight.

This makes a little ball of rice that is wrapped up in the banana leaf. People can eat it as a snack or as part of a meal. The banana leaf helps to keep the rice fresh and tasty.

Lemper is really yummy and people in Indonesia love to eat it!
