Sticky Banana Rice

This recipe was inspired by the description of the food in a book titled The Airmen and the Headhunters, in which American airmen during WWII were downed in the jungles of Bornea. They survived only by the kindness and generosity of the Dayaks, native Borneans of the inland jungle. This is very sweet, so it makes a good dessert.
