More importantly, have you considered that some countries make a dish that is so unique that it can be considered their very own dish? Laing is one of the most popular Philippine recipes served during special occasions especially wedding occasions.
Given its popularity, it has turned into a very important part of Filipino cooking. There are many varieties of Laing but the common ingredients used for preparing this vegetarian dish are taro leaves (dahon ng saging), garlic, ginger, onions, chilies and salt.
The first step is to prepare a medium pot. Finely chop the onion and chop the garlic. Place coconut milk, water, onion, garlic and dried fish in a pot. Turn on medium heat and bring to a boil, you can also use low heat.
Wash the dried taro leaves and add to the pot as soon as the mixture boils, cook without stirring for 10 minutes with the lid closed.
