👨‍🍳 조리법

1
Sauté the chopped onion in the reserved mackerel oil (or a little vegetable oil if preferred) in a pot over medium heat until softened, about 5 minutes.
2
Add the minced garlic and chopped chili (if using) and cook for another minute until fragrant.
3
Add the cubed taro root to the pot and stir to coat with the aromatics.
💡 전문가 팁: Ensure taro is evenly distributed.
4
Pour in the coconut milk and enough water to just cover the taro. Bring to a simmer, then cover and cook for 20-25 minutes, or until the taro is tender.
💡 전문가 팁: Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.
5
Gently flake the drained mackerel into the stew. Add the chopped local greens and stir.
💡 전문가 팁: Be careful not to break up the mackerel too much.
6
Simmer for another 5-10 minutes, or until the greens are wilted and the mackerel is heated through. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
💡 전문가 팁: Adjust seasoning as needed.
