👨‍🍳 조리법

1
In a large pot or Dutch oven, sauté the chopped onion in a little oil or coconut oil over medium heat until softened, about 5-7 minutes.
2
Add the minced garlic and grated ginger to the pot and cook for another minute until fragrant.
3
Stir in the turmeric powder, salt, and pepper. Cook for 30 seconds, stirring constantly.
4
Add the cubed taro root, coconut milk, and water or fish broth to the pot. Bring to a simmer.
5
Cover the pot and let it simmer gently for about 20-25 minutes, or until the taro is tender when pierced with a fork. Stir occasionally.
6
Gently add the fish chunks to the simmering stew. Ensure the fish is submerged in the liquid. Cook for another 8-10 minutes, or until the fish is opaque and cooked through. Be careful not to overcook the fish.
7
Taste and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper if needed.
8
Ladle the stew into bowls. Garnish with fresh cilantro or parsley, if desired. Serve hot, typically with rice.
