Instructions

1. 1
   Combine the cornstarch and cornmeal in a bowl. Mix in enough warm water to get a smooth, stiff dough.
2. 2
   Cover the mixture with a clean cloth, and let rest in a warm place for 2 days. It should smell sour, like sourdough.
3. 3
   Divide the dough into 2 pieces.
4. 4
   Heat a pot over medium heat. Add one half of the dough, and cook for about 10–15 minutes, stirring regularly.
5. 5
   Remove from the heat, and mix the cooked dough into the uncooked dough. Season with a little salt.
6. 6
   Portion out small pieces of dough, and roll into balls. Wrap each piece in a corn husk or plantain leaf, and secure with string.
7. 7
   Heat water in a steamer. Add the wrapped dokunu, and steam for about 1 hour.
8. 8
   Serve with dry fish or any sides of your choice.
