👨‍🍳 조리법

1
Heat cooking oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Brown the pork cubes on all sides.
💡 전문가 팁: Don't overcrowd the pot; brown in batches if necessary.
2
Remove pork from the pot and set aside. Add chopped onion to the pot and sauté until softened.
3
Add minced garlic, grated ginger, and chopped chili (if using) to the pot. Cook for another minute until fragrant.
4
Return the browned pork to the pot. Add water or broth, salt, and pepper.
5
Bring the mixture to a simmer, then reduce heat to low, cover, and cook for about 1 hour, or until the pork is tender.
💡 전문가 팁: Check periodically and add more liquid if it becomes too dry.
6
Add the chopped taro leaves to the pot. Stir well to combine with the pork and liquid.
7
Pour in the coconut milk. Stir gently and bring back to a gentle simmer.
8
Continue to simmer, uncovered, for another 20-30 minutes, or until the taro leaves are tender and the stew has thickened to your desired consistency.
💡 전문가 팁: The stew will thicken as it cooks down.
9
Taste and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper if needed. Serve hot.
