1/4 cup of pork
long green hot pepper (optional)
2 cans of coconut milk
2 tsp. shrimp paste or according to taste


Procedure :

• Carefully remove the skin of the taro stalk. (siguraduhing maalis ang lahat ng balat para maiwasang mangati ang dila)
• Slice it thinly and put it in a pan with water enough to soak all the stalk.
• Let it boil for about 3 minutes.

• Drain the taro stalk and put 1 can of coconut milk.
• Let it boil till the oil come's out.

• In another pan, saute garlic, onion, ginger, meat until golden brown.
• Next is the anchovy and the shrimp paste.
• Then put the sauteed ingredients together with the boiled stalk in a coconut milk.
• Put remaining 1 can of coconut milk and again let it boil till it gets dry under a low heat.

Perfect match for fried or grilled fish. Yummy... Enjoy the "laing ala sheng".
