Steamed rice dumplings

Directions

1. Beat raw eggs with fork and pour into the rice.

2. Mix to distribute throughout the rice.

3. Sprinkle desired spices and flavors on the rice mixture.

4. Pour the broth into the rice and stir well.

5. Place Bijao leaves (or substitute on a flat surface).

6. Each Juan will consist of 1 cup of the rice mixture.

7. Add 1 piece of chicken, 2 olives and ½ a boiled egg for each Juane you want to make.

8. Place this combination on the Bijao leaf.

9. Twist the ends of the leaf together in a rope that ties around the top

10. Draw the end down through the loop and turn it straight up so that it will stick out above the water and not leak into the package (If using a substitute, wrap well).

11. Bring the water to a boil in a pot so that it will cover the body of the Juanes with the end sticking up just above the water.

12. Lower the heat so the water is slightly bubbling and the packet is immersed.

13. Cook for 30 minutes.

14. Remove from the heat.

15. Do not open the package unless you are ready to eat.
