My Delicious Laing.

Laing is also known as taro leaves cooked in coconut milk and chilis. Laing is a spicy vegetable dish that is widely cooked in the Bicol Region in the Philippines. The "Gabi" or "Taro" grows well along Riverbanks and can be harvest by almost anyone who wants to prepare this Laing recipe. The countryside style of cooking the taro leaves is by shredding them finely and cooking them in Palayok or earthen Clay Pots. While there are fresh Taro or Gabi leaves that can be retrieved and bought in the wet markets or Palengke, the dried version of Taro leaves are also readily available. These packets of dried taro leaves make cooking and preparing Laing more accessible to those leaving outside the Philippines.
