Place the pork on a rack in a roasting pan. Pour the coconut milk into the bottom of the pan.

About 45 minutes before the pork is done, prepare the taro. Place taro chunks on banana leaves, wrap them securely, and steam or boil until tender.

Once the pork is cooked, let it rest for 15-20 minutes before carving. Serve slices of roast pork with the steamed taro.
