Saksak

(Bariva, Dia, Sago Jelly)

These small, rectangular-shaped dumplings come from the coastal regions of Papua New Guinea. They are made with sago (sometimes substituted with cassava) and mashed bananas, and the combination is then wrapped in banana leaves and boiled in coconut milk.


If banana leaves are unavailable, aluminum foil is a worthy substitute. The dumplings are typically consumed for lunch or dinner.
