Servings 6
Equipment
- Heavy bottom pot (recommended)
Ingredients
- 1 tsp coconut oil
- 5 cloves garlic peeled, crushed, and minced
- 1 whole yellow onion peeled and chopped
- 1-2 tbsp black bean garlic sauce add more for taste
- 1 ounce dried taro leaves
- 2 cans cups coconut milk (3.5 oz)
- 2-4 tbsp Thai chili peppers sliced, add slowly according to your spicy preference
- 4 tbsp ginger peeled and thinly sliced
Instructions
- Heat a pot over medium heat. Add oil and garlic and sauce (until garlic is slightly golden).
- Add onion, ginger, and chili peppers. Salute until the onion has turned translucent.
- Add black bean garlic sauce and coconut milk into pot and mix thoroughly.
- Add the taro leaves and gently push down so that they can absorb the mixture.
