Bicol Ginataang Laing Recipe

- Taro Leaves in Coconut Milk

 

Photo of Taro Leaves in Coconut Milk

Laing Ingredients:

25 taro (gabi) leaves; shredded
1/2 kilo pork; diced or thinly sliced
1 tablespoon garlic; minced
1 tablespoon onion; minced
1 tablespoon ginger; chopped
2 tablespoons shrimp paste
3 green chili pepper (siling haba)
1 can coconut milk

Laing Cooking Instructions:

Arrange the taro leaves in a casserole. Spread on top the pork, ginger, garlic, and onion. Add coconut milk but do not stir. Cover, bring to a boil, then simmer until pork is tender. Add more coconut milk when mixture gets too dry or if necessary. Add shrimp paste and chilli pepper. Simmer, then remove from fire when little sauce is left. Serve hot!

Cooking Tip:

Do not stir the ingredients while cooking so that itchiness of the taro will not spread on the dish, otherwise it will cause an itching sensation in your tongue when eating this cuisine.

I thought that you need to dry the shredded leaves in the sun for 2 to 3 days before cooking them. I peel the stems and cut them up and dry them too...don't have any trouble with itching when I dry everything before cooking this dish. Aslo cook it with sliced cchicken breast, Masarap!

Air-drying the leaves for a day or two can help remove the ithchiness caused by eating gabi.

bago namin niluluto ang laing binibilad muna ng isang araw sa initan para makunat at matuyo sya ng hindi durog.;-)
#5 - jayson sanchez - 10/04/2010 - 01:01
sometimes it is better to add shredded tuyo to laing. that is what bicolanos do. or dried dilis can be added to pork strips.
