Chef's Notes
Treat your banana leaves with respect. If they tear, your parcels will leak and the culinary gods will weep.
Pro Tip
Marinate the pork overnight if you want the achiote flavor to truly sing opera to your tastebuds.
Kitchen Catastrophe Warning
Forgetting to remove the stiff center rib of the banana leaf, resulting in dumplings that look like origami swans gone terribly wrong.

Royal Court Comedy
Why did the dumpling break up with the banana leaf? It felt too wrapped up in the relationship.
