💡 Профессиональные советы
- ✓If fresh Aibika is unavailable, frozen spinach can be used as a substitute, though the texture will be different.
- ✓For a heartier meal, add cooked chicken or fish to the stew during the last 10 minutes of cooking.
- ✓Ensure the taro is cooked through until tender, as it can be quite starchy otherwise.
