A Bicol Dish Called “Laing”

One of the most loved recipes by bicolanos in the Philippines is the “Laing”. In cooking, we first sauté the garlic, ginger and onions and when the onions become transparent we add a little pork. Then mix the coconut milk and the dried gabi or taro leaves which have been hand shredded. Let it simmer till the meat and taro leaves are cooked. Then add again coconut milk, dried fish and hot pepper. Simmer for 10 minutes and add salt to taste.
