👨‍🍳 作り方

1
Prepare the duruka by carefully removing the tough outer sheath and any fibrous parts. Cut the tender inner stalks into bite-sized pieces (about 2 inches long).
2
Heat coconut oil in a saucepan or pot over medium heat. Add the sliced onion and sauté until softened and translucent, about 5 minutes.
3
Add the minced garlic, sliced chili, and grated ginger to the pot. Cook for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
4
Stir in the turmeric powder and salt. Add the prepared duruka pieces and stir to coat them with the aromatics.
5
Pour in the coconut milk. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer, then reduce the heat to low, cover the pot, and cook for 10-15 minutes, or until the duruka is tender but still has a slight bite. Avoid overcooking, as it can become mushy.
6
Taste and adjust seasoning with salt if needed. Stir in most of the chopped cilantro.
7
Serve hot, garnished with the remaining fresh cilantro. This dish is excellent as a side with rice or root vegetables.
